Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cosmopolitan Ground Beetle sighting in San Francisco on a given day, based on 135 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 124th most-seen of the 737 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.
November and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cosmopolitan Ground Beetle in San Francisco on a given day, against under 5% in January to October, the lowest months. Those are among San Francisco's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain a month against almost none in July.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cosmopolitan Ground Beetle 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 9 cities where we can rate Cosmopolitan Ground Beetle sightings, San Francisco ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sacramento (United States, under 5%) and Cape Town (South Africa, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cosmopolitan Ground Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in San Francisco (135 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.
