Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leaf Emperor 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.
January–March and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Leaf Emperor in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in April–September and December, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in June.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leaf Emperor sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Leaf Emperor sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leaf Emperor 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.
