With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Banded Wasp Moth sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 146th most-seen of the 496 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May, July–August and October–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Banded Wasp Moth in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, June and September, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-Banded Wasp Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Everglades National Park, in our data
Everglades National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Yellow-Banded Wasp Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Banded Wasp Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (22 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.
