Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Melanimon tibialis sighting in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 486th most-seen of the 818 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Melanimon tibialis in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months. Those are among Wadden Sea National Park's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against 140 mm in November.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Melanimon tibialis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Wadden Sea National Park, in our data
Wadden Sea National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Melanimon tibialis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tenebrionidae
The closest relatives of the Melanimon tibialis that you can see in Wadden Sea National Park (family Tenebrionidae, Darkling Beetles) are Phylan gibbus (about 10%) and Sulphur Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Melanimon tibialis is recorded against all the insects logged in Wadden Sea 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.
