Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pseudonomoneura micheneri sighting in Joshua Tree National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 164th most-seen of the 190 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pseudonomoneura micheneri in Joshua Tree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pseudonomoneura micheneri sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Joshua Tree National Park, in our data
Joshua Tree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pseudonomoneura micheneri sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pseudonomoneura micheneri is recorded against all the insects logged in Joshua Tree 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.
