Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Palpidia sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 424th 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 Pale Palpidia 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 Pale Palpidia sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Pale Palpidia sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Pale Palpidia that you can see in Miami (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Edwards' Wasp Moth (about 10%), Polka-Dot Wasp Moth (about 10%) and Ornate Bella Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale Palpidia is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (15 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.
