Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aethiopocassis scripta sighting in Orlando on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 123rd most-seen of the 294 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, June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Aethiopocassis scripta in Orlando on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, July and September–February, the lowest months. Those are among Orlando's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 50 mm in November.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Aethiopocassis scripta sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.

Of the 7 cities where we can rate Aethiopocassis scripta sightings, Orlando has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Miami (United States, under 5%) and Mexico City (México, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aethiopocassis scripta is recorded against all the insects logged in Orlando (17 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.
