Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-Shouldered Soldier Beetle sighting in Austin on a given day, based on 42 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 560th most-seen of the 1624 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 and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-Shouldered Soldier Beetle in Austin on a given day, against under 5% in May–August and October–March, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pale-Shouldered Soldier Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Austin, in our data
Austin is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pale-Shouldered Soldier Beetle sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-Shouldered Soldier Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Austin (42 verified sightings), 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.
