With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Vine-Leaf Vagrant sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 132nd 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and March–June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Vine-Leaf Vagrant in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in February and July–December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Vine-Leaf Vagrant 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 Vine-Leaf Vagrant sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Vine-Leaf Vagrant is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (17 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.
