No species of the same family or order lives in Riyadh, so these are its closest relatives here: other insects.
Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Pitted Beetle sighting in Riyadh on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Pitted Beetle in Riyadh on a given day, against about 10% in January–February, April–May, August and October, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Pitted Beetle sightings, Riyadh ranks 2nd at about 40%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kuwait City (Kuwait, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pitted Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Riyadh (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.
