Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Carabus hispanus sighting in Cévennes National Park on a given day, based on 149 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 21st most-seen of the 996 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Carabus hispanus in Cévennes National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January and July, the lowest months. Those are among Cévennes National Park's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 35 mm in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Carabus hispanus sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Cévennes National Park, in our data
Cévennes National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Carabus hispanus sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Carabus

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Carabus hispanus is recorded against all the insects logged in Cévennes National Park (149 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.
