Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Eumerus obliquus sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 393rd most-seen of the 742 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eumerus obliquus in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Eumerus obliquus sightings, Sydney ranks 5th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Perth (Australia, under 5%), Melbourne (Australia, under 5%) and Cape Town (South Africa, under 5%).
Same family: Syrphidae
The closest relatives of the Eumerus obliquus that you can see in Sydney (family Syrphidae, Hover Flies) are Yellow-Shouldered Stout Hover Fly (about 10%) and Native Drone Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eumerus obliquus is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (15 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.
