Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Belostoma lutarium sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 356th 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Belostoma lutarium in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Miami's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain against 45 mm in January.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Belostoma lutarium sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Belostoma lutarium sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Belostoma lutarium is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (20 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.
