Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Potberg Protea Chafer sighting in De Hoop Nature Reserve on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 17th 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.
August and October
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Potberg Protea Chafer in De Hoop Nature Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in November to July, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Potberg Protea Chafer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only De Hoop Nature Reserve, in our data
De Hoop Nature Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Potberg Protea Chafer sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Potberg Protea Chafer is recorded against all the insects logged in De Hoop Nature Reserve (6 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.
