Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rhyparothesus atomarius 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.
April and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rhyparothesus atomarius in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and September–March, the lowest months. Those are among Johannesburg's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 130 mm in December.
Only Johannesburg, in our data
Johannesburg is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rhyparothesus atomarius sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Rhyparothesus atomarius that you can see in Johannesburg (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Brown Stink Bug (about 20%), Gardenia Twig Wilter (about 10%) and Southern Green Stink Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rhyparothesus atomarius 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.
