Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Small Fruit Chafer sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 10 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.
October to December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Small Fruit Chafer in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in January to September, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in June.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange Small Fruit Chafer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Orange Small Fruit Chafer sightings, Durban ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%), Johannesburg (South Africa, about 10%) and Cape Town (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange Small Fruit Chafer is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (10 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.
