Before you go

What are the chances of seeing a Camponotus werthi in Cape Town?

Rare

Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Camponotus werthi sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 183rd 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.

When is the best time to see a Camponotus werthi in Cape Town?

February and May

In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Camponotus werthi in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in March–April and June–January, the lowest months.

What time of day is best to see a Camponotus werthi?

Between 11 am and 2 pm

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Camponotus werthi sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Where else can you see a Camponotus werthi?

Only Cape Town, in our data

Cape Town is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Camponotus werthi sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

Where does the Camponotus werthi sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Camponotus werthi is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (15 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.
