In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Cosmopepla conspicillaris is a species of insect in the family Pentatomidae first described by William Dallas in 1851. Due to its common preference for plants in the genus Stachys, it is often called the hedgenettle stink bug. It is also known as the conspicuous stink bug, two-spotted stink bug or happy bespectacled stink bug depending on locality. The name two-spotted stink bug is better applied to another species, Perillus bioculatus (Fabricius, 1775). Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hedge Nettle Stink Bug sighting in Yosemite National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 148th most-seen of the 227 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 and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hedge Nettle Stink Bug in Yosemite National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Yosemite National Park's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 220 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hedge Nettle Stink 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.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Hedge Nettle Stink Bug sightings, Yosemite National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hedge Nettle Stink Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Yosemite 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.
