Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sri Lanka Weevil sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 433rd most-seen of the 477 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sri Lanka Weevil in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Bengaluru's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain against almost none in January.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sri Lanka Weevil sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Sri Lanka Weevil sightings, Bengaluru ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Miami (United States, about 20%), Orlando (United States, about 10%) and Kochi (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sri Lanka Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (5 verified sightings), 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.
