With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Philotheria natalensis sighting in Pretoria on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 135th 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.
January
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Philotheria natalensis in Pretoria on a given day, against under 5% in June to December, the lowest months. That is one of Pretoria's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain against almost none in July.
Only Pretoria, in our data

Same order: Hemiptera

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Philotheria natalensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Pretoria (10 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.
