With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Iris Weevil sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 110th most-seen of the 521 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Iris Weevil in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. That is one of Munich's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain against 60 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Iris 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.
Among the best
Of the 20 cities where we can rate Iris Weevil sightings, Munich ranks 5th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Essen (Germany, about 10%), Milan (Italy, about 10%) and Hamburg (Germany, about 10%).
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Iris Weevil that you can see in Munich (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are Green Immigrant Leaf Weevil (about 10%), Brown Leaf Weevil (about 10%) and Blunt Knapweed Flower Weevil (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Iris Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (25 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.
