Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eleodes gracilis sighting in San Diego on a given day, based on 75 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 125th most-seen of the 693 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eleodes gracilis in San Diego on a given day, against under 5% in April to January, the lowest months. Those are among San Diego's wettest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against almost none in July.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eleodes gracilis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Eleodes gracilis sightings, San Diego ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Los Angeles (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eleodes gracilis is recorded against all the insects logged in San Diego (75 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.
