Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a The African sighting in Johannesburg on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 164th 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.
March–April and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a The African in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in May–October and December–February, the lowest months.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate The African sightings, Johannesburg ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Harare (Zimbabwe, about 10%).
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the The African that you can see in Johannesburg (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Lily Borer (about 10%), Slender Burnished Brass (about 10%) and Cotton Bollworm Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the The African is recorded against all the insects logged in Johannesburg (8 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.
