Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lambda Tiger Beetle sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 165th 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.
August to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lambda Tiger Beetle in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in November to July, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lambda Tiger Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Cape Town, in our data
Cape Town is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lambda Tiger Beetle sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lambda Tiger Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (17 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.
