Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Calosoma angulatum sighting in Cumbres de Monterrey National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 279th most-seen of the 431 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.
September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Calosoma angulatum in Cumbres de Monterrey National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–August, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Calosoma angulatum sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Cumbres de Monterrey National Park, in our data
Cumbres de Monterrey National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Calosoma angulatum sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Calosoma angulatum is recorded against all the insects logged in Cumbres de Monterrey National Park (8 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
