With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Leaf Weevil sighting in Bucharest on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 165th most-seen of the 361 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Common Leaf Weevil in Bucharest on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Leaf 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.
Among the best
Of the 24 cities where we can rate Common Leaf Weevil sightings, Bucharest ranks 7th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 10%), Kyiv (Ukraine, about 10%) and Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Leaf Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Bucharest (11 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.
