In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Anaea troglodyta, the Florida leafwing, Portia or Florida goatweed butterfly, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is found in southern Florida and on many islands of the Caribbean. In Jamaica, it is known as the Jamaican tropical leafwing and in the Cayman Islands and Cuba it is known as the Cuban red leaf.
The wingspan is 76–90 millimetres (3.0–3.5 in). Adults are on wing from October to April (dry-season form) and from May to October (wet-season form). The larvae feed on Croton cascarilla and Croton linearis. Adults feed on rotting fruit, dung and fluids. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Florida Leafwing sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 496th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Florida Leafwing in Everglades National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Florida Leafwing sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Florida Leafwing sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Florida Leafwing that you can see in Everglades National Park (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are White Peacock (about 40%), Julia Heliconian (about 40%) and Gulf Fritillary (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Florida Leafwing is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (8 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.
