Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Acmaeodera gibbula sighting in Phoenix on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 143rd most-seen of the 264 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.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acmaeodera gibbula in Phoenix on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. Those are among Phoenix's wettest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against almost none in June.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Acmaeodera gibbula sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Acmaeodera gibbula sightings, Phoenix ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Mesa (United States, about 10%) and Las Vegas (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acmaeodera gibbula is recorded against all the insects logged in Phoenix (12 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.
