Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Poeciloblatta angusta sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 114th 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–March and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Poeciloblatta angusta in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in January and April–October, the lowest months. Those are among Cape Town's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 140 mm in June.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Poeciloblatta angusta sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Poeciloblatta angusta is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (29 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.
