Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-Haired Horse Fly sighting in Washington on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1256th most-seen of the 1807 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-Haired Horse Fly in Washington on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden-Haired Horse Fly sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Washington, in our data
Washington is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Golden-Haired Horse Fly sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-Haired Horse Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Washington (9 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.
