With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lilypad Forktail sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 150th most-seen of the 496 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lilypad Forktail in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–June and August, the lowest months. That is one of Everglades National Park's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain against 240 mm in June.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lilypad Forktail 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

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lilypad Forktail is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (29 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.
