With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Silver Spiny Sugar Ant sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 152nd 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.
March–April and September–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Silver Spiny Sugar Ant in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in February and May–August, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Silver Spiny Sugar Ant sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Silver Spiny Sugar Ant sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Silver Spiny Sugar Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (14 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.
