Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Peach Root Weevil sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 51 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 238th most-seen of the 1013 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.
June–July and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Peach Root Weevil in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in January–May and August–November, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Peach Root Weevil sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Peach Root Weevil sightings, Tokyo ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Boston (United States, about 10%), Baltimore (United States, about 10%) and Washington (United States, about 10%).
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Peach Root Weevil that you can see in Tokyo (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are Eugnathus distinctus (about 10%), Vegetable Weevil (about 10%) and Dermatoxenus caesicollis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Peach Root Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (51 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.
