Myodocha serripes
In 3 days ~20% in a week ~40%
Myodocha serripes, the long-necked seed bug, is a species of dirt-colored seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae. It is found in North America. As their name suggests, this insect feeds on seeds. When hibernating, the adults will do so alone or in small groups, then migrate to fields in spring. They are most active in autumn, though those living in Florida do not hibernate at all. They are treated as pests on strawberries. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Long-Necked Seed Bug sighting in Shenandoah National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 325th most-seen of the 723 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.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Long-Necked Seed Bug in Shenandoah National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–May, July and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Long-Necked Seed Bug sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Shenandoah National Park, in our data
Shenandoah National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Long-Necked Seed Bug sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Long-Necked Seed Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Shenandoah National Park (12 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.
