Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Shore Wainscot sighting in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 408th most-seen of the 818 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June–July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Shore Wainscot in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–May, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Shore Wainscot sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Wadden Sea National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Shore Wainscot is recorded against all the insects logged in Wadden Sea National Park (14 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.
