Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Syneches simplex 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.
May–June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Syneches simplex in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–April, the lowest months. Those are among Everglades National Park's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in March.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Syneches simplex 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 Syneches simplex sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Syneches simplex that you can see in Everglades National Park (order Diptera, Flies) are White-Faced Plushback (about 20%), Northern Plushback (about 10%) and Sea Grape Gall Midge (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Syneches simplex 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.
