Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eristalinus quinquelineatus sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 224th most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eristalinus quinquelineatus in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in June and September–March, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain a month against 210 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eristalinus quinquelineatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eristalinus quinquelineatus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eristalinus quinquelineatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (9 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.
