Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Methia necydalea 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.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Methia necydalea in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months. Those are among Everglades National Park's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in March.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Methia necydalea sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Everglades National Park, in our data
Everglades National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Methia necydalea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Methia necydalea that you can see in Everglades National Park (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Spider Longhorned Beetle (about 10%) and Elaphidion irroratum (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Methia necydalea 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.
