Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lunate Lady Beetle sighting in Johannesburg on a given day, based on 73 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 12th most-seen of the 213 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–June, September and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lunate Lady Beetle in Johannesburg on a given day, against about 10% in July–August, October and December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lunate Lady Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Lunate Lady Beetle sightings, Johannesburg ranks 3rd at about 20%. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, about 30%) and Nairobi (Kenya, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lunate Lady Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Johannesburg (73 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.
