With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Epipamponeurus americanus sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 42nd most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and April
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Epipamponeurus americanus in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in August and November–December, the lowest months. Those are among Quito's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in August.
Only Quito, in our data
Quito is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Epipamponeurus americanus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Epipamponeurus americanus that you can see in Quito (order Diptera, Flies) are Common Drone Fly (about 30%), Stripe-Eyed Lagoon Fly (about 30%) and Stable Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Epipamponeurus americanus is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (17 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.
