With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Twig Wilter sighting in Johannesburg on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 110th most-seen of the 213 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Twig Wilter in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in November to March, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Giant Twig Wilter sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Giant Twig Wilter sightings, Johannesburg ranks 4th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Harare (Zimbabwe, about 10%), Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%) and Nairobi (Kenya, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Giant Twig Wilter is recorded against all the insects logged in Johannesburg (13 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.
