My kingdom for a Rainbow Slug!

2 hours running around in the rain at night and nuthin'.

IIRC I found one along the beach. Don't know if that helps.

I've tried everything. day, night, distant fingertip (or whatever it's called) in the rain and every other place in the area. If I'd known that I would need one for rebuilding Colony 6 I would have never used the one I found on the collectopedia. I have no idea where I found that one either.

I'm also missing one collectopedia item for Eryth Sea and Valak Mountain and no amount of running around has uncovered those either. 

The key is that you don't have to wait for the rain, but Distant Fingertip is definitely the place to go. You can sneak around behind that level 95 UM, as long as you're careful, and just mine those two beyond it until it appears. I encountered them during the day and out of the rain using that trick, so it's purely a matter of location.

I agree on the matter of superstition. According to the Japanese wiki, Black Liver Beans appear more between 4-5 pm, which really seems like a myth to me, but i can swear on the Rainbow Slug thing. They're not always there, but they're much much more likely to be there.
