Eleodes acuticauda is a species of desert stink beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, found in southwestern North America. Their pronotum, strongly arcuate, is twice width of their head, having dentate projections on the anterior corners. The spines on the front legs, as well as lack of golden hairs on the underside of the legs distinguish it from Coelocnemis. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eleodes acuticauda is recorded against all the insects logged in San Diego (185 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.
