Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Wattle Nibbler sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 248th 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.
September to December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Wattle Nibbler in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in January to August, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in June.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Wattle Nibbler sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Wattle Nibbler is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (8 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.
