Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Backed Calligrapher sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 752nd 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 Black-Backed Calligrapher in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-Backed Calligrapher sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-Backed Calligrapher sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Toxomerus
The closest relatives of the Black-Backed 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 Black-Backed 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.
