Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dark Wood Cockroach sighting in Washington on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 920th most-seen of the 1807 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 Dark Wood Cockroach in Washington on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dark Wood Cockroach sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Washington, in our data
Washington is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dark Wood Cockroach sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dark Wood Cockroach is recorded against all the insects logged in Washington (16 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.
