Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Carabus convexus sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 655th most-seen of the 753 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Carabus convexus in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Carabus convexus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kyiv, in our data
Kyiv is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Carabus convexus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Carabus
The closest relatives of the Carabus convexus that you can see in Kyiv (genus Carabus, Worm and Slug Hunters) are Leather Beetle (about 10%), Bronze Ground Beetle (about 10%) and Carabus cancellatus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Carabus convexus is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (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.
