With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Smooth Ground Beetle sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 249th most-seen of the 753 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Smooth Ground Beetle in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–April, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Smooth Ground Beetle 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 Smooth Ground Beetle sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Carabus
The closest relatives of the Smooth Ground Beetle 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 Smooth Ground Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (18 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.
