Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Somber Spragueia sighting in Saguaro National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 248th most-seen of the 354 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Somber Spragueia in Saguaro National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months. Those are among Saguaro National Park's wettest months, with about 50 mm of rain a month against almost none in May.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Somber Spragueia sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Somber Spragueia sightings, Saguaro National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Big Bend National Park (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Somber Spragueia is recorded against all the insects logged in Saguaro National Park (6 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.
