With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Formica neorufibarbis sighting in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 67th 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.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Formica neorufibarbis in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Great Bear Rainforest's driest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 480 mm in November.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Formica neorufibarbis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Formica neorufibarbis sightings, Great Bear Rainforest has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (Canada, about 10%) and Banff National Park (Canada, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Formica neorufibarbis is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Bear Rainforest (17 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.
