Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Carrion Beetle sighting in Phoenix on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 236th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Carrion Beetle in Phoenix on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Phoenix, in our data
Phoenix is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Common Carrion Beetle sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Carrion Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Phoenix (6 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.
