Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Odontomyia frontalis sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 231st 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Odontomyia frontalis in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months. That is one of Cape Town's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 140 mm in June.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Odontomyia frontalis 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 Odontomyia frontalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Odontomyia frontalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (8 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.
