Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Figwort Weevil sighting in London on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 705th most-seen of the 1504 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Figwort Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in London (24 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.
