Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ferguson's Epidromia Moth 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.
May–June and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ferguson's Epidromia Moth in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July–October and December–April, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ferguson's Epidromia Moth sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Ferguson's Epidromia Moth sightings, Everglades National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Big Cypress National Preserve (United States, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Ferguson's Epidromia Moth that you can see in Everglades National Park (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Faithful Beauty (about 20%), Florida Tussock Moth (about 20%) and Polka-Dot Wasp Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ferguson's Epidromia Moth 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.
