With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Shouldered Pine Borer sighting in Acadia National Park on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 96th most-seen of the 405 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Shouldered Pine Borer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Shouldered Pine Borer is recorded against all the insects logged in Acadia National Park (29 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.
