Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Legged Hover Fly sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 645th most-seen of the 826 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.

Same family: Syrphidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Legged Hover Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (7 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.
