Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cape Boxing Mantis sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 264th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cape Boxing Mantis in Cape Town on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Cape Town, in our data
Cape Town is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cape Boxing Mantis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cape Boxing Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (6 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.
