Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rugose Stag Beetle sighting in Vancouver on a given day, based on 58 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 110th most-seen of the 482 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 Rugose Stag Beetle in Vancouver on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Vancouver's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against 210 mm in November.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rugose Stag 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.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Rugose Stag Beetle sightings, Vancouver ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Portland (United States, about 10%) and Seattle (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rugose Stag Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Vancouver (58 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.
