With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Small Fruit Chafer sighting in Johannesburg on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 47th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Small Fruit Chafer in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in February and April–October, the lowest months. That is one of Johannesburg's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain against almost none in July.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange Small Fruit Chafer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Orange Small Fruit Chafer sightings, Johannesburg ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange Small Fruit Chafer is recorded against all the insects logged in Johannesburg (29 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.
