Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bandit Shieldbug sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 11 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.
January–March, June and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bandit Shieldbug in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, July–September and December, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bandit Shieldbug sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Bandit Shieldbug sightings, Durban ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Nairobi (Kenya, about 10%).
Same family: Pentatomidae
The closest relatives of the Bandit Shieldbug that you can see in Durban (family Pentatomidae, Stink Bugs) are Ndebele Bug (about 10%) and Sunflower Seed Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bandit Shieldbug is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (11 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.
