Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ultramarine Hover Fly sighting in Orlando on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 240th most-seen of the 294 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ultramarine Hover Fly in Orlando on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months. That is one of Orlando's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain against 50 mm in November.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ultramarine Hover Fly sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Ultramarine Hover Fly sightings, Orlando ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Miami (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ultramarine Hover Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Orlando (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.
