With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Millipede Assassin sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 143rd 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.
July to December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Millipede Assassin in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in January to June, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Millipede Assassin sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Millipede Assassin sightings, Durban ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Millipede Assassin is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (16 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.
