With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nebria diversa sighting in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 92nd most-seen of the 235 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nebria diversa in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, against under 5% in October to April, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nebria diversa sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Nebria diversa sightings, Great Bear Rainforest ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (Canada, about 10%).
Same family: Carabidae
The closest relatives of the Nebria diversa that you can see in Great Bear Rainforest (family Carabidae, Ground Beetles) are Narrow-Collared Snail-Eating Beetle (about 20%), Western Tiger Beetle (about 10%) and Cychrus tuberculatus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nebria diversa is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Bear Rainforest (24 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.
