Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Platyaspistes venustus sighting in Santiago on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 154th most-seen of the 173 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, April, October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Platyaspistes venustus in Santiago on a given day, against under 5% in January, March, May–September and November, the lowest months. Those are among Santiago's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain a month against 65 mm in June.
Only Santiago, in our data
Santiago is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Platyaspistes venustus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Platyaspistes venustus that you can see in Santiago (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are South American Fruit Tree Weevil (about 10%), Fuller's Rose Weevil (about 10%) and White-Fringed Weevil (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Platyaspistes venustus is recorded against all the insects logged in Santiago (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.
