Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Obese Lily Weevil sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 255th most-seen of the 344 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.

Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Obese Lily Weevil sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Obese Lily Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain National Park (7 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.
