Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Variable Diadem sighting in Accra on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 4th most-seen of the 30 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and December–January
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Variable Diadem in Accra on a given day, against under 5% in April, the lowest month. Those are among Accra's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against 200 mm in June.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Variable Diadem sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Variable Diadem sightings, Accra has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire, about 30%) and Durban (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Variable Diadem is recorded against all the insects logged in Accra (18 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.
