Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Thanatophilus sinuatus sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 341st 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 a Thanatophilus sinuatus in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Thanatophilus sinuatus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Thanatophilus sinuatus sightings, Moscow ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%) and Nizhny Novgorod (Russia, under 5%).
Same family: Staphylinidae
The closest relatives of the Thanatophilus sinuatus 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 Thanatophilus sinuatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (31 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.
