Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nettle Weevil sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 497th most-seen of the 1065 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 Nettle Weevil in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nettle Weevil sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
19th of 24
Of the 24 cities where we can rate Nettle Weevil sightings, Berlin ranks 19th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, about 20%), Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Rotterdam [The Hague] (Netherlands, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nettle Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (16 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.
