Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Slosson's Metalmark Moth sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 53 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 191st 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Slosson's Metalmark Moth in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in May to February, the lowest months. Those are among Miami's driest months, with about 65 mm of rain a month against 190 mm in June.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Slosson's Metalmark Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 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 Slosson's Metalmark Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Slosson's Metalmark Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (53 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.
