Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Thanatophilus rugosus sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1028th most-seen of the 1406 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 Thanatophilus rugosus in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Thanatophilus rugosus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Vienna, in our data
Vienna is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Thanatophilus rugosus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Staphylinidae
The closest relatives of the Thanatophilus rugosus that you can see in Vienna (family Staphylinidae, Rove Beetles) are Staphylinus caesareus (about 10%) and Devil's Coach Horse Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Thanatophilus rugosus is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (8 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.
