Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dioprosopa clavatus sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 261st most-seen of the 832 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.
January–February, September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dioprosopa clavatus in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in March–August, October and December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dioprosopa clavatus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
20th of 27
Of the 27 cities where we can rate Dioprosopa clavatus sightings, São Paulo ranks 20th at under 5%. The best odds are in Cordoba (Argentina, about 20%), Santiago (Chile, about 10%) and Buenos Aires (Argentina, about 10%).
Same family: Syrphidae
The closest relatives of the Dioprosopa clavatus that you can see in São Paulo (family Syrphidae, Hover Flies) are Toxomerus virgulatus (about 10%), Stripe-Eyed Lagoon Fly (about 10%) and Green Jewel Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dioprosopa clavatus is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (23 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.
