Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ocypus nitens sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 637th most-seen of the 1111 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ocypus nitens in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
5th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Ocypus nitens sightings, Moscow ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, about 10%), Montreal (Canada, under 5%) and Boston (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Staphylinidae
The closest relatives of the Ocypus nitens that you can see in Moscow (family Staphylinidae, Rove Beetles) are Black Snail Beetle (about 10%) and Obscure Carrion Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ocypus nitens is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (11 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.
