Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Australian Pine Borer sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 439th most-seen of the 496 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.
April to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Australian Pine Borer in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Australian Pine Borer sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Australian Pine Borer sightings, Everglades National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Jaragua National Park (Dominican Republic, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Australian Pine Borer is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (5 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.
