Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chymomyza amoena sighting in Philadelphia on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 557th most-seen of the 632 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chymomyza amoena in Philadelphia on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chymomyza amoena 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 16 cities where we can rate Chymomyza amoena sightings, Philadelphia ranks 11th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Dallas (United States, under 5%), Baltimore (United States, under 5%) and Hamburg (Germany, under 5%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Chymomyza amoena that you can see in Philadelphia (order Diptera, Flies) are Tiger Bee Fly (about 10%), Common Picture-Winged Fly (about 10%) and Margined Calligrapher (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chymomyza amoena is recorded against all the insects logged in Philadelphia (5 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.
