Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Redtrim Bug sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 158th 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 May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Redtrim Bug in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in April and June–January, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Redtrim Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Redtrim Bug sightings, Cape Town ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kuwait City (Kuwait, about 30%), Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%) and Dubai (United Arab Emirates, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Redtrim Bug that you can see in Cape Town (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Brown Stink Bug (about 20%), Southern Green Stink Bug (about 10%) and Common Tip Wilter (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Redtrim Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (19 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.
