Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Translucent Ermine sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 10 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.
March–April and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Translucent Ermine in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in May–September and December–February, the lowest months.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Translucent Ermine sightings, Durban ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Translucent Ermine that you can see in Durban (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Lienard's Achaea (about 10%), African Peach Moth (about 10%) and Creamstriped Owl (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Translucent Ermine 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.
