Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red Weevil sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 376th most-seen of the 1083 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.
August and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Weevil in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in February–July and September–November, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Weevil sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Red Weevil sightings, Brisbane has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Sydney (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (31 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.
