With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gaudy Weevil sighting in Harare on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 41st most-seen of the 93 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Gaudy Weevil in Harare on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months. That is one of Harare's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain against almost none in August.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gaudy Weevil sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Harare, in our data
Harare is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Gaudy Weevil sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the Gaudy Weevil that you can see in Harare (order Coleoptera, Beetles) are Chlorocala africana (about 20%), Marmylida impressa (about 20%) and Cheirolasia burkei (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gaudy Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Harare (8 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.
