Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Carabus sylvestris sighting in Tatra National Park on a given day, based on 33 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 11th most-seen of the 142 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and August
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Carabus sylvestris in Tatra National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–April and October–December, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Carabus sylvestris sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Tatra National Park, in our data
Tatra National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Carabus sylvestris sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Carabus

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Carabus sylvestris is recorded against all the insects logged in Tatra National Park (33 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.
