With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Graphic Ermine sighting in Johannesburg on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 35th most-seen of the 213 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October to February
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Graphic Ermine in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in April to September, the lowest months. Those are among Johannesburg's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain a month against almost none in July.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Graphic Ermine sightings, Johannesburg ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Graphic Ermine that you can see in Johannesburg (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Creamstriped Owl (about 30%), Lederhosen Moth (about 10%) and Sundowner Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Graphic Ermine is recorded against all the insects logged in Johannesburg (35 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.
