Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Eurimyia lineatus sighting in London on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 724th most-seen of the 1504 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eurimyia lineatus in London on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eurimyia lineatus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Eurimyia lineatus sightings, London ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Copenhagen (Denmark, under 5%).
Same family: Syrphidae
The closest relatives of the Eurimyia lineatus that you can see in London (family Syrphidae, Hover Flies) are Yellow-Haired Sun Fly (about 40%), Marmalade Hover Fly (about 30%) and Hornet Mimic Hover Fly (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eurimyia lineatus is recorded against all the insects logged in London (31 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.
