Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Eupeodes confrater sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 412th 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eupeodes confrater in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Sydney's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 130 mm in February.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Eupeodes confrater sightings, Sydney has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Melbourne (Australia, under 5%) and Brisbane (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Syrphidae
The closest relatives of the Eupeodes confrater 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 Eupeodes confrater is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (13 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.
