Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Angular Jigsaw sighting in Johannesburg on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 164th 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.
February to April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Angular Jigsaw in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in May to January, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Angular Jigsaw sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Angular Jigsaw sightings, Johannesburg ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Durban (South Africa, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Angular Jigsaw is recorded against all the insects logged in Johannesburg (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.
