Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Metallic Cryptocephalus sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 265th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Metallic Cryptocephalus in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Miami's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain against 45 mm in January.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Metallic Cryptocephalus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Metallic Cryptocephalus is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (35 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.
