Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Nettle Weevil sighting in Kyiv on a given day, based on 104 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 37th most-seen of the 753 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Nettle Weevil in Kyiv on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nettle Weevil sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 24 cities where we can rate Nettle Weevil sightings, Kyiv has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Birmingham (United Kingdom, about 10%) and Rotterdam [The Hague] (Netherlands, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nettle Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Kyiv (104 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.
