Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aristogitus cylindricus sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 255th most-seen of the 344 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Of the 2 parks where we can rate Aristogitus cylindricus sightings, Table Mountain National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Garden Route National Park (South Africa, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aristogitus cylindricus is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain National Park (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.
