Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Flatheaded Cone Borer sighting in Portland on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 427th most-seen of the 507 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Flatheaded Cone Borer in Portland on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Flatheaded Cone Borer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Portland, in our data
Portland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Flatheaded Cone Borer sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Flatheaded Cone Borer is recorded against all the insects logged in Portland (7 verified sightings), 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.
