Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Syneches simplex sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 478th 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 Syneches simplex in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Syneches simplex sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Syneches simplex is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (13 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.
