With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pink-Faced Jewel Beetle sighting in Yosemite National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 116th most-seen of the 227 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pink-Faced Jewel Beetle in Yosemite National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months. Those are among Yosemite National Park's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 220 mm in January.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pink-Faced Jewel Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Pink-Faced Jewel Beetle sightings, Yosemite National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pink-Faced Jewel Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Yosemite National Park (11 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.
