Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red Cabbage Bug sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 92nd most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Red Cabbage Bug in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September–October and December–May, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Cabbage Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Red Cabbage Bug sightings, Sierra Nevada National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Kiskunság National Park (Hungary, about 30%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Cabbage Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (18 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.
