With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rhabdotis sobrina sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 99th most-seen of the 123 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rhabdotis sobrina in Nairobi on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and November–February, the lowest months.
Only Nairobi, in our data
Nairobi is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rhabdotis sobrina sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Rhabdotis sobrina that you can see in Nairobi (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Pachnoda ephippiata (about 30%), Boas Rhinoceros Beetle (about 10%) and Large Black Nest Chafer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rhabdotis sobrina is recorded against all the insects logged in Nairobi (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.
