With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Burrowing Ground Beetle sighting in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 12th most-seen of the 31 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Burrowing Ground Beetle in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April, July–August and October, the lowest months. That is one of Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park's wettest months, with about 25 mm of rain against almost none in July.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Burrowing Ground Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, in our data
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Burrowing Ground Beetle sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Burrowing Ground Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (10 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.
