Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dina Yellow sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 87 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 177th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dina Yellow in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Miami's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 45 mm in January.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dina Yellow sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Pieridae
The closest relatives of the Dina Yellow that you can see in Miami (family Pieridae, Whites, Yellows, and Sulphurs) are Dainty Sulphur (about 10%), Barred Yellow (about 10%) and Orange-Barred Sulphur (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dina Yellow is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (87 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.
