Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gaudy Sphinx sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 5 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.
November and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gaudy Sphinx in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January to October, the lowest months. Those are among Everglades National Park's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against 240 mm in June.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gaudy Sphinx sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Gaudy Sphinx sightings, Everglades National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Galápagos Islands (Ecuador, about 10%), Iguazú National Park (Argentina, about 10%) and Iguaçu National Park (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gaudy Sphinx is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (5 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.
