With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Anthaxia ignipennis sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 330th most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Anthaxia ignipennis in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. That is one of Sierra Nevada National Park's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 130 mm in March.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Anthaxia ignipennis sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Sierra Nevada National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anthaxia ignipennis is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada 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.
