Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Carabus formosus sighting in Jiuzhaigou National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and August
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Carabus formosus in Jiuzhaigou National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and June, the lowest months. March has too few records to rate.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Carabus formosus sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Jiuzhaigou National Park, in our data
Jiuzhaigou National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Carabus formosus sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Carabus formosus is recorded against all the insects logged in Jiuzhaigou National Park (5 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.
