Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pygmy Chafer sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 300th 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 Pygmy Chafer in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Pygmy Chafer sightings, Miami ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Orlando (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Pygmy Chafer that you can see in Miami (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Dark Flower Scarab (about 10%), Margined Shining Leaf Chafer (about 10%) and Cuban May Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pygmy Chafer is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (27 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.
