Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stenomorpha opaca sighting in Denver on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 274th 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stenomorpha opaca in Denver on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Stenomorpha opaca 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 Denver, in our data
Denver is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Stenomorpha opaca sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tenebrionidae
The closest relatives of the Stenomorpha opaca that you can see in Denver (family Tenebrionidae, Darkling Beetles) are Red-Backed Darkling Beetle (about 10%) and Eleodes fusiformis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stenomorpha opaca is recorded against all the insects logged in Denver (10 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.
