About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ndebele Bug sighting in Pretoria on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 118th most-seen of the 274 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ndebele Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Pretoria (15 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.
