Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Basil Lace Bug sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 158th most-seen of the 311 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December to February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Basil Lace Bug in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in March to November, the lowest months. Those are among Cape Town's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 140 mm in June.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Basil Lace Bug sightings, Cape Town ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%) and Kaohsiung (Taiwan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Basil Lace Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (22 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.
