Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Root Maggot Fly sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 473rd 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Root Maggot Fly in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of São Paulo's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain against 230 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Root Maggot Fly sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
23rd of 30
Of the 30 cities where we can rate Root Maggot Fly sightings, São Paulo ranks 23rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%), Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and Athens (Greece, about 10%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Root Maggot Fly that you can see in São Paulo (order Diptera, Flies) are Bathroom Moth Fly (about 10%), Black Soldier Fly (about 10%) and Toxomerus virgulatus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Root Maggot Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (11 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.
