Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Sulfurous Lady Beetle sighting in Accra on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 24th most-seen of the 30 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Sulfurous Lady Beetle in Accra on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–June and September–November, the lowest months. That is one of Accra's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 200 mm in June.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sulfurous Lady Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Sulfurous Lady Beetle sightings, Accra ranks 3rd at about 20%. The best odds are in Maputo (Mozambique, about 30%) and Antananarivo (Madagascar, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sulfurous Lady Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Accra (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.
