Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Broken-Dash sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 292nd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, June and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Broken-Dash in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, July–August and November–February, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Broken-Dash sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Southern Broken-Dash sightings, Everglades National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Big Cypress National Preserve (United States, about 20%) and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Broken-Dash is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (10 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.
