Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hotea curculionoides sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 334th most-seen of the 362 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.
April, June and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hotea curculionoides in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, May and July–November, the lowest months.
Only Mumbai, in our data
Mumbai is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hotea curculionoides sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Hotea curculionoides that you can see in Mumbai (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Oncopeltus nigriceps (about 10%), Cyclopelta siccifolia (about 10%) and Darth Maul Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hotea curculionoides is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (5 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.
