Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pacific Digger Bee sighting in Seattle on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 199th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pacific Digger Bee in Seattle on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pacific Digger Bee sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Seattle, in our data
Seattle is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pacific Digger Bee sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Apidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pacific Digger Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Seattle (18 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.
