Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rhenea mediata sighting in Pretoria on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 225th most-seen of the 274 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rhenea mediata in Pretoria on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months. Those are among Pretoria's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 130 mm in December.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rhenea mediata sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Pretoria, in our data
Pretoria is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rhenea mediata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rhenea mediata is recorded against all the insects logged in Pretoria (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.
