Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Horse Fly 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 354th 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Horse Fly in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Striped Horse Fly sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and 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 Striped Horse Fly sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Striped Horse Fly 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.
