Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Menkeleon bellulus sighting in San Diego on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 597th most-seen of the 693 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Menkeleon bellulus in San Diego on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Menkeleon bellulus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only San Diego, in our data

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