With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Variable Diadem sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 58 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 34th most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Variable Diadem in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in December, the lowest month. Those are among Durban's driest months, with about 65 mm of rain a month against 210 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Variable Diadem sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Variable Diadem sightings, Durban ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Accra (Ghana, about 40%) and Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Variable Diadem is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (58 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.
