Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brotheolus viridis 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.
February and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brotheolus viridis in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in March–October and December–January, the lowest months. Those are among Johannesburg's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain a month against almost none in July.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brotheolus viridis 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.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Brotheolus viridis sightings, Johannesburg ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%).
Same family: Coreidae
The closest relatives of the Brotheolus viridis that you can see in Johannesburg (family Coreidae, Leaf-footed Bugs) are Gardenia Twig Wilter (about 10%) and Giant Twig Wilter (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brotheolus viridis 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.
