With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Formica moki sighting in Channel Islands National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 70th most-seen of the 131 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.
March

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Formica moki sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Formica moki is recorded against all the insects logged in Channel Islands National Park (11 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.
