Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pheropsophus fastigiatus sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 264th 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pheropsophus fastigiatus in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.
Only Cape Town, in our data
Cape Town is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pheropsophus fastigiatus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pheropsophus fastigiatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (7 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.
