Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mayan Lichen Mantis 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 a Mayan Lichen Mantis in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mayan Lichen Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mayan Lichen Mantis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mayan Lichen Mantis 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.
