Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Axiocerses perion sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 248th 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.
January–March, May–June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Axiocerses perion in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in April, July and September–December, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Axiocerses perion sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Axiocerses perion sightings, Durban ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Harare (Zimbabwe, about 10%), Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%) and Johannesburg (South Africa, about 10%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Axiocerses perion that you can see in Durban (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are African Grass Blue (about 20%), Bush Bronze (about 10%) and Common Hairstreak (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Axiocerses perion is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (8 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.
