Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oak Lace Bug sighting in Washington on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1256th most-seen of the 1807 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oak Lace Bug in Washington on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Oak Lace Bug sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
11th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Oak Lace Bug sightings, Washington ranks 11th at under 5%. The best odds are in Sofia (Bulgaria, about 10%), Bucharest (Romania, about 10%) and Vienna (Austria, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oak Lace Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Washington (10 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.
