Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysotoxum bicincta sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 334th most-seen of the 521 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.
June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysotoxum bicincta in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–May, the lowest months. Those are among Munich's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 60 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chrysotoxum bicincta sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Chrysotoxum bicincta sightings, Munich ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%), London (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Warsaw (Poland, under 5%).
Same family: Syrphidae
The closest relatives of the Chrysotoxum bicincta that you can see in Munich (family Syrphidae, Hover Flies) are Marmalade Hover Fly (about 10%), Common Drone Fly (about 10%) and Hornet Mimic Hover Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chrysotoxum bicincta is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (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.
