Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Anthomyia procellaris sighting in Vancouver on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 187th most-seen of the 482 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Anthomyia procellaris in Vancouver on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months. That is one of Vancouver's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain against 210 mm in November.
5th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Anthomyia procellaris sightings, Vancouver ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Portland (United States, about 10%), Seattle (United States, under 5%) and Edmonton (Canada, under 5%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Anthomyia procellaris that you can see in Vancouver (order Diptera, Flies) are Black-Margined Flower Fly (about 10%), Common Drone Fly (about 10%) and Common European Greenbottle Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anthomyia procellaris is recorded against all the insects logged in Vancouver (24 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.
