Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report an Apoica pallida sighting in Brownsberg Nature Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 20th most-seen of the 74 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and December
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report an Apoica pallida in Brownsberg Nature Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and March, the lowest months. September has too few records to rate.
Between 1 and 4 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Apoica pallida 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.
Only Brownsberg Nature Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Apoica pallida is recorded against all the insects logged in Brownsberg Nature Park (10 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.
