With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Broken-Dash sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 90 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 151st 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.
June and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Broken-Dash in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–May, the lowest months. Those are among Miami's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 45 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Broken-Dash sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Southern Broken-Dash sightings, Miami has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Austin (United States, under 5%) and Houston (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Broken-Dash is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (90 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.
