Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Millipede Assassin sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 291st 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.

4th of 4

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Millipede Assassin is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (5 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.
