With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Florida Bluet sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 102 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 141st 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July, September and November–March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Florida Bluet in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in April–June, August and October, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Florida Bluet sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Florida Bluet sightings, Miami ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Orlando (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Florida Bluet is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (102 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.
