With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Crimson-Ringed Whiteface sighting in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 103rd most-seen of the 235 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Crimson-Ringed Whiteface in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. That is one of Great Bear Rainforest's driest months, with about 150 mm of rain against 480 mm in November.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Crimson-Ringed Whiteface sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Of the 2 parks where we can rate Crimson-Ringed Whiteface sightings, Great Bear Rainforest has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Yosemite National Park (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crimson-Ringed Whiteface is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Bear Rainforest (15 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.
