Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Early Tachinid Fly sighting in Seattle on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 380th most-seen of the 428 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 an Early Tachinid Fly in Seattle on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Early Tachinid Fly 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 2 cities where we can rate Early Tachinid Fly sightings, Seattle ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Boston (United States, under 5%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Early Tachinid Fly that you can see in Seattle (order Diptera, Flies) are Yellow-Haired Sun Fly (about 10%), Eurasian Drone Fly (about 10%) and Narcissus Bulb Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Early Tachinid Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Seattle (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.
