Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Zamium bimaculatum sighting in Cape Town on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 208th 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.
December
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Zamium bimaculatum in Cape Town on a given day, against under 5% in January to November, the lowest months. That is one of Cape Town's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 140 mm in June.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Zamium bimaculatum sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Cape Town, in our data
Cape Town is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Zamium bimaculatum sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Zamium bimaculatum that you can see in Cape Town (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Figtree Longhorn (about 10%), Common Metallic Longhorn Beetle (about 10%) and Litopus latipes (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Zamium bimaculatum is recorded against all the insects logged in Cape Town (10 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.
