Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Caribbean Yellowface sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 45 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 265th 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Caribbean Yellowface in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months. That is one of Miami's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain against 45 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Caribbean Yellowface sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Caribbean Yellowface sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Coenagrionidae
The closest relatives of the Caribbean Yellowface that you can see in Miami (family Coenagrionidae, Narrow-winged Damselflies) are Rambur's Forktail (about 20%), Everglades Sprite (about 10%) and Citrine Forktail (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Caribbean Yellowface is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (45 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.
