Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Skipperling sighting in Dallas on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1213th most-seen of the 1412 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Skipperling in Dallas 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 Southern Skipperling sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 10

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Skipperling is recorded against all the insects logged in Dallas (6 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.
