Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Millipede Assassin sighting in De Hoop Nature Reserve on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th most-seen of the 25 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Millipede Assassin in De Hoop Nature Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in February, May–June, August, October and December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Millipede Assassin 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Millipede Assassin is recorded against all the insects logged in De Hoop Nature Reserve (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
