With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Flower Assassin sighting in Pretoria on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 175th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and October–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Flower Assassin in Pretoria on a given day, against under 5% in January–February and May–September, the lowest months. Those are among Pretoria's wettest months, with about 80 mm of rain a month against almost none in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Flower Assassin sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Pretoria, in our data
Pretoria is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Red Flower Assassin sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Flower Assassin is recorded against all the insects logged in Pretoria (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.
