With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Coreopsis Beetle sighting in Portland on a given day, based on 66 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 94th most-seen of the 507 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Coreopsis Beetle in Portland on a given day, against under 5% in September to March, the lowest months. Those are among Portland's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain a month against 250 mm in December.

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

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Coreopsis Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Portland (66 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.
