Rare

It is the 374th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cliff Tiger Beetle in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cliff Tiger Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (12 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.
