Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Campsomeriella caelebs sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 310th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Campsomeriella caelebs in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–March, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain a month against 210 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Campsomeriella caelebs sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Campsomeriella caelebs sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Campsomeriella caelebs that you can see in Durban (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Big Red Large Carpenter Bee (about 10%), Double-Banded Carpenter Bee (about 10%) and Natal Droptail Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Campsomeriella caelebs is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (6 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.
