Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Assembly Moth sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 292nd most-seen of the 496 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.
April, June, August–September and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Assembly Moth in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, May, July and October, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Assembly 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.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Assembly Moth sightings, Everglades National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (Trinidad and Tobago, about 20%), Big Cypress National Preserve (United States, about 10%) and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Assembly Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (9 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
