Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Calligrapher sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 690th most-seen of the 826 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Calligrapher in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Banded Calligrapher sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Toxomerus
The closest relatives of the Banded Calligrapher that you can see in Miami (genus Toxomerus, Calligrapher Flies) are Florida Calligrapher (about 10%) and Bow-Shaped Calligrapher (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Calligrapher is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (6 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.
