With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mesosa curculionoides sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 193rd most-seen of the 753 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.
January, March–July and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mesosa curculionoides in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in February, August–September and November–December, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Mesosa curculionoides sightings, Kyiv ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mesosa curculionoides is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (26 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.
