Cardiocondyla obscurior
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Cardiocondyla obscurior is a species of ant native to Costa Rica, though there have been reports of it appearing in other countries as well. Unlike most members of the Cardiocondyla family, it tends to be arboreal, nesting in the plant cavities of low vegetation.
This ant is light brown or orange, with a darker gaster. Like many members of Cardiocondyla, it has both wingless and winged males, with the latter only being hatched during the stress of a temperature drop of 5 °C. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Arboreal Sneaking Ant sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 597th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Arboreal Sneaking Ant in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Arboreal Sneaking Ant sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Arboreal Sneaking Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (8 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.
