Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oxydia vesulia sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 20 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 an Oxydia vesulia in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Oxydia vesulia sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Oxydia vesulia sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oxydia vesulia is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (20 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.
