With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scolia hortorum sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 282nd 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.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Scolia hortorum in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September 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.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scolia hortorum sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
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 Scolia hortorum sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scolia hortorum is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (10 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.
