Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green Click Beetle sighting in Helsinki on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 445th most-seen of the 838 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Click Beetle in Helsinki on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Click Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Helsinki, in our data
Helsinki is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Green Click Beetle sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Elateridae
The closest relatives of the Green Click Beetle that you can see in Helsinki (family Elateridae, Click Beetles) are Chequered Click Beetle (about 10%), Margined Click Beetle (about 10%) and Hemicrepidius niger (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Click Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Helsinki (11 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.
