Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Root Maggot Fly sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 488th most-seen of the 1125 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 December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Root Maggot Fly in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and June–November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Root Maggot Fly sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 30
Of the 30 cities where we can rate Root Maggot Fly sightings, Hong Kong ranks 10th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%), Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and Athens (Greece, about 10%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Root Maggot Fly that you can see in Hong Kong (order Diptera, Flies) are Ptecticus aurifer (about 10%), Yellow-Shouldered Hover Fly (about 10%) and Microstylum dux (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Root Maggot Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (18 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.
