Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Curve-Lined Cydosia sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 225th 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–July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Curve-Lined Cydosia in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–May, the lowest months. Those are among Miami's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month against 45 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Curve-Lined Cydosia sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Curve-Lined Cydosia sightings, Miami ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Maceió (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Curve-Lined Cydosia is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (46 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.
