Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lilypad Forktail in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lilypad Forktail 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 4 cities where we can rate Lilypad Forktail sightings, Miami ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Washington (United States, under 5%), Orlando (United States, under 5%) and Houston (United States, under 5%).
Same genus: Ischnura

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lilypad Forktail is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (7 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.
