Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Paramantis sacra sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 127th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February to April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Paramantis sacra in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in May to January, the lowest months. Those are among Cape Town's driest months, with about 30 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 Paramantis sacra sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 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 Paramantis sacra sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Paramantis sacra is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (28 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.
