Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Barred Ozarba sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 287th 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.
September and November–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Barred Ozarba in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in February–August and October, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in June.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pale Barred Ozarba sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Pale Barred Ozarba that you can see in Durban (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Lily Borer (about 10%), Cotton Bollworm Moth (about 10%) and Mediterranean Brocade (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale Barred Ozarba is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (7 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.
