Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Florid Pearl sighting in Yaoundé on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 6 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Florid Pearl in Yaoundé on a given day, against under 5% in April, August and November, the lowest months. That is one of Yaoundé's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 230 mm in October.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Florid Pearl sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Florid Pearl sightings, Yaoundé has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Durban (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Florid Pearl is recorded against all the insects logged in Yaoundé (6 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.
