When is the best time to see a Chine Beetle in Moscow?

Any time of year

In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chine Beetle in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chine Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Where does the Chine Beetle sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Chine Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (19 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.
