Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dotted Bee Fly sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 608th most-seen of the 1111 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dotted Bee Fly in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dotted Bee Fly sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Dotted Bee Fly sightings, Moscow ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Brussels (Belgium, about 10%), Vienna (Austria, under 5%) and Birmingham (United Kingdom, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dotted Bee Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (13 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.
