Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Anaphalantus longicornis sighting in Johannesburg on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 180th most-seen of the 213 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.
January, April and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Anaphalantus longicornis in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May–June and August–December, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Anaphalantus longicornis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Anaphalantus longicornis sightings, Johannesburg ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%) and Cape Town (South Africa, under 5%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Anaphalantus longicornis that you can see in Johannesburg (order Diptera, Flies) are Stripe-Eyed Lagoon Fly (about 20%), Episyrphus trisectus (about 10%) and Common Drone Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anaphalantus longicornis is recorded against all the insects logged in Johannesburg (5 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.
