Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Sugar Ant sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 224th 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–April and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Sugar Ant in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in February, May–September and December, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spotted Sugar Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (9 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.
