Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Myzinum maculatum sighting in New York City on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1094th most-seen of the 1623 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Myzinum maculatum in New York City on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Myzinum maculatum sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only New York City, in our data
New York City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Myzinum maculatum sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Myzinum maculatum is recorded against all the insects logged in New York City (11 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.
