Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dysdercus mimulus sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 439th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dysdercus mimulus in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and June–February, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dysdercus mimulus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Everglades National Park, in our data
Everglades National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dysdercus mimulus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Dysdercus
The closest relatives of the Dysdercus mimulus that you can see in Everglades National Park (genus Dysdercus, Cotton Stainer Bugs) are Common Cotton Stainer Bug (about 20%) and St. Andrew's Cotton Stainer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dysdercus mimulus is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (6 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.
