Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Zosterius laetus 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.
October to December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Zosterius laetus in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in January to September, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in June.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Zosterius laetus 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 Zosterius laetus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Zosterius laetus that you can see in Durban (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Mallodon downesii (about 10%) and Litopus latipes (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Zosterius laetus 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.
