Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Phycus brunneus sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 334th most-seen of the 362 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.
January, April and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phycus brunneus in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May–June and August–December, the lowest months.
Only Mumbai, in our data
Mumbai is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Phycus brunneus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Phycus brunneus that you can see in Mumbai (order Diptera, Flies) are Black Soldier Fly (about 10%), Yellow-Shouldered Hover Fly (about 10%) and Chrysosoma leucopogon (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phycus brunneus is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (5 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.
