Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Metacmaeops vittata sighting in Washington on a given day, based on 33 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 617th most-seen of the 1807 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 Metacmaeops vittata in Washington on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Metacmaeops vittata sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Washington, in our data
Washington is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Metacmaeops vittata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Metacmaeops vittata is recorded against all the insects logged in Washington (33 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.
