Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oleander Seedbug sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 248th 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 and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oleander Seedbug in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–March, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain a month against 210 mm in January.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Oleander Seedbug sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Oleander Seedbug sightings, Durban ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%), Algiers (Algeria, about 10%) and Madrid (Spain, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oleander Seedbug is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (8 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.
