Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Alder Jumping Weevil sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 477th most-seen of the 753 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Alder Jumping Weevil in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.
Only Kyiv, in our data
Kyiv is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Alder Jumping Weevil sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Alder Jumping Weevil that you can see in Kyiv (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are Nettle Weevil (about 20%), Sciaphobus squalidus (about 10%) and Common Leaf Weevil (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Alder Jumping Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (9 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.
