Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mulberry Leaftier sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 366th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mulberry Leaftier in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mulberry Leaftier sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mulberry Leaftier sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Mulberry Leaftier that you can see in Miami (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Orange-Spotted Flower Moth (about 10%), Assembly Moth (about 10%) and Coffee-Loving Pyrausta Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mulberry Leaftier is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (19 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.
