Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bumelia Borer sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 315th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bumelia Borer in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months. Those are among Everglades National Park's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in March.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bumelia Borer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Everglades National Park, in our data
Everglades National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bumelia Borer sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Bumelia Borer that you can see in Everglades National Park (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Spider Longhorned Beetle (about 10%) and Elaphidion irroratum (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bumelia Borer is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (8 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.
