With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White Frother sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 66th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a White Frother in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in November to February, the lowest months. That is one of Durban's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 210 mm in January.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White Frother sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the White Frother 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 White Frother is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (32 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.
