Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Tenspot Ground Beetle sighting in De Hoop Nature Reserve on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th most-seen of the 25 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June–July, September and December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Tenspot Ground Beetle in De Hoop Nature Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in January–May, August and November, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tenspot Ground Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tenspot Ground Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in De Hoop Nature Reserve (7 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.
