Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Smooth Ground Beetle sighting in Bavarian Forest National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 964th most-seen of the 1115 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.
April–May, August and October

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Smooth Ground Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Smooth Ground Beetle sightings, Bavarian Forest National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Białowieża National Park (Poland, about 30%), Cairngorms National Park (United Kingdom, about 30%) and Tatra National Park (Slovakia, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Smooth Ground Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Bavarian Forest National Park (5 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.
