Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Loefling's Beewolf 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.
February and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Loefling's Beewolf in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–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.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Loefling's Beewolf sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Loefling's Beewolf sightings, Cape Town ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Durban (South Africa, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Loefling's Beewolf 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.
