About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Syrphus octomaculatus sighting in Santiago on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 66th most-seen of the 173 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Syrphus octomaculatus in Santiago on a given day, against under 5% in June and December–April, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Syrphus octomaculatus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Santiago, in our data
Santiago is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Syrphus octomaculatus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Syrphus octomaculatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Santiago (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.
