About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Long-Haired June Beetle sighting in Vancouver on a given day, based on 248 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 25th most-seen of the 482 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Long-Haired June Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Vancouver (248 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.
