Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Twig Wilter sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 345th 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.
December to February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Twig Wilter in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in March to November, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in June.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Giant Twig Wilter sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Giant Twig Wilter sightings, Durban ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Harare (Zimbabwe, about 10%), Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%) and Nairobi (Kenya, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Giant Twig Wilter is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (5 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.
