Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cactus Sap Beetle sighting in Los Angeles on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 445th most-seen of the 851 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cactus Sap Beetle in Los Angeles on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cactus Sap 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.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Cactus Sap Beetle sightings, Los Angeles ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Phoenix (United States, under 5%) and San Diego (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cactus Sap Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Los Angeles (20 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.
