Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Weaver Beetle sighting in Helsinki on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 374th most-seen of the 838 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.
May to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Weaver Beetle in Helsinki on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Weaver Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Weaver Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Helsinki (14 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.
