Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mecinus collaris sighting in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 699th most-seen of the 818 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mecinus collaris in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mecinus collaris sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Wadden Sea National Park, in our data
Wadden Sea National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mecinus collaris sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Mecinus collaris that you can see in Wadden Sea National Park (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are Philopedon plagiatum (about 10%), Green Immigrant Leaf Weevil (about 10%) and Large Pine Weevil (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mecinus collaris is recorded against all the insects logged in Wadden Sea National Park (8 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.
