Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tailed Laphria sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 427th most-seen of the 1689 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tailed Laphria in Toronto on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-Tailed Laphria sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Black-Tailed Laphria sightings, Toronto ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Boston (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Tailed Laphria is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (40 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.
