Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chlaenius conformis sighting in Johannesburg on a given day, based on 6 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, May, October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chlaenius conformis in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–April, June–September and November, the lowest months.
Only Johannesburg, in our data
Johannesburg is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Chlaenius conformis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the Chlaenius conformis that you can see in Johannesburg (order Coleoptera, Beetles) are Asian Lady Beetle (about 30%), Lunate Lady Beetle (about 20%) and Derby's Flower Beetle (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chlaenius conformis is recorded against all the insects logged in Johannesburg (6 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.
