With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an African Spotted Tortoise Beetle sighting in Harare on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 47th most-seen of the 93 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an African Spotted Tortoise Beetle in Harare on a given day, against under 5% in April–October and December, the lowest months. That is one of Harare's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain against almost none in August.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most African Spotted Tortoise Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate African Spotted Tortoise Beetle sightings, Harare has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Johannesburg (South Africa, about 10%) and Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the African Spotted Tortoise Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Harare (7 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.
