With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Anthomyia pluvialis sighting in Jerusalem on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 112th most-seen of the 137 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Anthomyia pluvialis in Jerusalem on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–April, June and August–November, the lowest months. Those are among Jerusalem's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against almost none in August.
Yes
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Anthomyia pluvialis sightings, Jerusalem has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Athens (Greece, about 10%) and Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Anthomyia pluvialis that you can see in Jerusalem (order Diptera, Flies) are Stripe-Eyed Lagoon Fly (about 30%), Migrant Hover Fly (about 20%) and Blue Blowfly (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anthomyia pluvialis is recorded against all the insects logged in Jerusalem (5 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.
