With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Myllocerus ochraceus sighting in Dubai on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 37th most-seen of the 54 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.
March to May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Myllocerus ochraceus in Dubai on a given day, against under 5% in June to February, the lowest months.
Only Dubai, in our data
Dubai is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Myllocerus ochraceus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Myllocerus ochraceus that you can see in Dubai (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are Nematocerus omanicus (about 10%) and Cyrtepistomus sabulosus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Myllocerus ochraceus is recorded against all the insects logged in Dubai (7 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.
