Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Proctenius granatensis sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 113th most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Proctenius granatensis in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Proctenius granatensis sightings with a recorded time, and about half 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
Sierra Nevada National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Proctenius granatensis sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tenebrionidae
The closest relatives of the Proctenius granatensis that you can see in Sierra Nevada National Park (family Tenebrionidae, Darkling Beetles) are Heliotaurus ruficollis (about 20%), Pimelia monticola (about 10%) and Dichillus subcostatus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Proctenius granatensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (14 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.
