Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Centris errans sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 391st 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Centris errans in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Centris errans 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 Centris errans sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Centris errans is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (18 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.
