With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysanthrax cypris sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 189 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 70th most-seen of the 826 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysanthrax cypris in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in November to February, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chrysanthrax cypris sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Chrysanthrax cypris sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chrysanthrax cypris is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (189 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.
