Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Brown Pansy sighting in Dar es-Salaam on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 12 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Brown Pansy in Dar es-Salaam on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–April, the lowest months. That is one of Dar es-Salaam's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 260 mm in April.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spotted Brown Pansy sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Spotted Brown Pansy sightings, Dar es-Salaam ranks 3rd at about 30%. The best odds are in Lusaka (Zambia, about 50%) and Lilongwe (Malawi, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spotted Brown Pansy is recorded against all the insects logged in Dar es-Salaam (15 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.
