Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aethiopocassis scripta sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 47 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 246th most-seen of the 826 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Aethiopocassis scripta in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months. That is one of Miami's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 190 mm in June.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Aethiopocassis scripta sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Aethiopocassis scripta sightings, Miami ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Orlando (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Aethiopocassis scripta that you can see in Miami (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Palmetto Tortoise Beetle (about 10%), Common Sieve Tortoise Beetle (about 10%) and Iridescent Tortoise Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aethiopocassis scripta is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (47 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.
