Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pseudandriasa mutata 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.
January, March, May and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pseudandriasa mutata in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in February, April, June–September and December, the lowest months.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pseudandriasa mutata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Sphingidae
The closest relatives of the Pseudandriasa mutata that you can see in Durban (family Sphingidae, Sphinx Moths) are Vine Hawkmoth (about 10%), Verdant Hawkmoth (about 10%) and Common Striped Hawkmoth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pseudandriasa mutata 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.
