Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Albizia Sailer sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 186th most-seen of the 401 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.
April to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Albizia Sailer in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in September to March, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against 210 mm in January.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Albizia Sailer sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Albizia Sailer is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (13 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.
