With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nematocerus omanicus sighting in Dubai on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 24th most-seen of the 54 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Nematocerus omanicus in Dubai on a given day, against under 5% in February, June and August–December, the lowest months.
Only Dubai, in our data
Dubai is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Nematocerus omanicus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Nematocerus omanicus that you can see in Dubai (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are Myllocerus ochraceus (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 Nematocerus omanicus is recorded against all the insects logged in Dubai (12 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.
