Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Long-Haired June Beetle sighting in Seattle on a given day, based on 47 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 115th most-seen of the 428 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Long-Haired June Beetle in Seattle on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Seattle's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against 190 mm in November.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Long-Haired June Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Long-Haired June Beetle sightings, Seattle ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Vancouver (Canada, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Long-Haired June Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Seattle (47 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.
