With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phytomia zonata sighting in Daejeon on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 38th most-seen of the 53 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Phytomia zonata in Daejeon on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months. That is one of Daejeon's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 320 mm in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Phytomia zonata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 19

Same family: Syrphidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phytomia zonata is recorded against all the insects logged in Daejeon (6 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
