Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Toxorhina magna sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 315th 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, June, August and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Toxorhina magna in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May, July, September–October and December–March, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Toxorhina magna sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Toxorhina magna sightings, Everglades National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Big Cypress National Preserve (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Toxorhina magna is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (9 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.
