Only Cape Town, in our data

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

Where does the Cletus ochraceus sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Cletus ochraceus is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (19 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.
