Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Glutophrissa epaphia sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 205th 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–July, October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Glutophrissa epaphia in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, August–September and November, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Glutophrissa epaphia 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 Glutophrissa epaphia sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Pieridae
The closest relatives of the Glutophrissa epaphia that you can see in Durban (family Pieridae, Whites, Yellows, and Sulphurs) are African Caper (about 20%), African Migrant (about 10%) and Small Ant-Heap White (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Glutophrissa epaphia 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.
