Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eleodes nigrina sighting in Denver on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 414th most-seen of the 461 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eleodes nigrina in Denver on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eleodes nigrina sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Denver, in our data
Denver is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eleodes nigrina sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Eleodes

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eleodes nigrina is recorded against all the insects logged in Denver (5 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.
