Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Sri Lanka Weevil sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 611 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 16th most-seen of the 826 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.
June and August–February
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Sri Lanka Weevil in Miami on a given day, against about 10% in March–May and July, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sri Lanka Weevil sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Sri Lanka Weevil sightings, Miami has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Orlando (United States, about 10%) and Kochi (India, under 5%).
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Sri Lanka Weevil that you can see in Miami (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are Diaprepes Root Weevil (about 10%), Blue-Green Citrus Root Weevil (about 10%) and Little Leaf Notcher (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sri Lanka Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (611 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.
