With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dioprosopa clavatus sighting in Lima on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 55th most-seen of the 95 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–May, July and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dioprosopa clavatus in Lima on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, June and August–October, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dioprosopa clavatus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
12th of 27
Of the 27 cities where we can rate Dioprosopa clavatus sightings, Lima ranks 12th at about 10%. The best odds are in Cordoba (Argentina, about 20%), Santiago (Chile, about 10%) and Buenos Aires (Argentina, about 10%).
Same family: Syrphidae
The closest relatives of the Dioprosopa clavatus that you can see in Lima (family Syrphidae, Hover Flies) are Allograpta piurana (about 10%) and Stripe-Eyed Lagoon Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dioprosopa clavatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Lima (11 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.
