With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Spotted Macrophya sighting in Paris on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 269th most-seen of the 916 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Spotted Macrophya in Paris on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-Spotted Macrophya sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Of the 10 cities where we can rate Yellow-Spotted Macrophya sightings, Paris ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Lyon (France, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Spotted Macrophya is recorded against all the insects logged in Paris (29 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.
