In 3 days ~20% in a week ~50%
Enteles vigorsii is a weevil in the Curculionidae family, which is found on the east coast of Australia. These weevils have been found in the reproductive structures of cycads and are thought to assist in their pollination.
The species was first described by Leonard Gyllenhaal in 1837, who authored the description within Carl Johan Schönherr's 1837 tome on the Curculionidae. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Enteles vigorsii sighting in Springbrook National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 160th most-seen of the 429 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Enteles vigorsii in Springbrook National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, June and September–November, the lowest months. That is one of Springbrook National Park's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 210 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Enteles vigorsii sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Enteles vigorsii sightings, Springbrook National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Lamington National Park (Australia, about 10%).
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Enteles vigorsii that you can see in Springbrook National Park (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are Botany Bay Diamond Weevil (about 10%) and Leptopius puellaris (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Enteles vigorsii is recorded against all the insects logged in Springbrook National Park (11 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
