With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phytomia zonata sighting in Nagoya on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 147th most-seen of the 195 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December and January
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Phytomia zonata in Nagoya on a given day, against under 5% in February and June–October, the lowest months. Those are among Nagoya's driest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against 230 mm in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Phytomia zonata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 19
Of the 19 cities where we can rate Phytomia zonata sightings, Nagoya ranks 5th at about 10%. The best odds are in Hefei (China, about 20%), Nanchang (China, about 20%) and Dalian (China, about 20%).
Same family: Syrphidae
The closest relatives of the Phytomia zonata that you can see in Nagoya (family Syrphidae, Hover Flies) are Marmalade Hover Fly (about 10%) and Helophilus eristaloideus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phytomia zonata is recorded against all the insects logged in Nagoya (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.
