With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oplodontha picta sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 69th most-seen of the 123 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.
February and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oplodontha picta in Nairobi on a given day, against under 5% in January, June, September and November, the lowest months.
Only Nairobi, in our data
Nairobi is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Oplodontha picta sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Oplodontha picta that you can see in Nairobi (order Diptera, Flies) are Stripe-Eyed Lagoon Fly (about 10%), Bathroom Moth Fly (about 10%) and Florida Calligrapher (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oplodontha picta is recorded against all the insects logged in Nairobi (9 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.
