Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Jewel Weevil sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 287th most-seen of the 826 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Jewel Weevil in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jewel Weevil sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Jewel Weevil sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the Jewel Weevil that you can see in Miami (order Coleoptera, Beetles) are Asian Lady Beetle (about 20%), Sri Lanka Weevil (about 20%) and Dark Flower Scarab (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jewel Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (34 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.
