Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pet Redhead Roach sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 183rd 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.
January and February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pet Redhead Roach in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, 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 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pet Redhead Roach sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Pet Redhead Roach sightings, Cape Town ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%) and Johannesburg (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pet Redhead Roach is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (14 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.
