With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Litopus latipes sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 163rd most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Litopus latipes in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in December to September, the lowest months. That is one of Durban's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against 25 mm in June.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Litopus latipes sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Litopus latipes sightings, Durban ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Johannesburg (South Africa, about 10%) and Cape Town (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Litopus latipes is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (14 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.
