With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nebria diversa sighting in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 22nd most-seen of the 107 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.
February and June
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Nebria diversa in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in August and November–January, 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.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Nebria diversa sightings, Pacific Rim National Park Reserve has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Great Bear Rainforest (Canada, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nebria diversa is recorded against all the insects logged in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (21 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.
