With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oxyaciura tibialis sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 240th most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oxyaciura tibialis in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to March, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oxyaciura tibialis is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (8 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.
