Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Edessa bifida sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 690th most-seen of the 826 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Edessa bifida in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Edessa bifida sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Edessa bifida sightings, Miami ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Houston (United States, under 5%), Dallas (United States, under 5%) and Austin (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Edessa bifida is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (6 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.
