Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Skipperling sighting in Orlando on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 161st 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Skipperling in Orlando on a given day, against under 5% in January–July and September–November, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Skipperling sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Southern Skipperling sightings, Orlando ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Puebla (México, about 10%), San Antonio (United States, about 10%) and Mexico City (México, under 5%).
Same family: Hesperiidae
The closest relatives of the Southern Skipperling that you can see in Orlando (family Hesperiidae, Skippers) are Fiery Skipper (about 10%), Horace's Duskywing (about 10%) and Three-Spotted Skipper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Skipperling is recorded against all the insects logged in Orlando (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.
