With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acmaeodera diffusa sighting in Zion National Park on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 28th most-seen of the 114 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Acmaeodera diffusa in Zion National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to March, the lowest months. That is one of Zion National Park's driest months, with almost no rain against 75 mm in March.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Acmaeodera diffusa sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Zion National Park, in our data
Zion National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Acmaeodera diffusa sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acmaeodera diffusa is recorded against all the insects logged in Zion National Park (17 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.
