With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Northern Hairy Sugar Ant sighting in Lusaka on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 60th most-seen of the 72 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Northern Hairy Sugar Ant in Lusaka on a given day, against under 5% in May and July–January, the lowest months. That is one of Lusaka's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain against almost none in August.
Only Lusaka, in our data
Lusaka is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Northern Hairy Sugar Ant sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Camponotus
The closest relatives of the Northern Hairy Sugar Ant that you can see in Lusaka (genus Camponotus, Carpenter Ants, Typical Sugar Ants and Allies) are Dr Brauns's Sugar Ant (about 20%) and Camponotus chrysurus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Northern Hairy Sugar Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Lusaka (7 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.
