Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Carrot Plant Bug sighting in Olympic National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 182nd most-seen of the 207 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Carrot Plant Bug in Olympic National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Olympic National Park's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against 370 mm in November.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Carrot Plant Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Olympic National Park, in our data
Olympic National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Carrot Plant Bug sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Carrot Plant Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Olympic 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.
