Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Oak Bug sighting in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 536th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Oak Bug in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months. That is one of Wadden Sea National Park's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 140 mm in November.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Striped Oak 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.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Striped Oak Bug sightings, Wadden Sea National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, about 10%) and Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Spain, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Striped Oak Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Wadden Sea National Park (7 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.
