Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Morphacris fasciata 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, May, September–October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Morphacris fasciata in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–April, June–August and November, the lowest months.

Of the 3 cities where we can rate Morphacris fasciata sightings, Johannesburg ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%) and Pretoria (South Africa, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Morphacris fasciata 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.
