With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Protea Chafer sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 93 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 53rd most-seen of the 344 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March to November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Protea Chafer in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December to February, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Protea Chafer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Table Mountain National Park, in our data
Table Mountain National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Green Protea Chafer sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Protea Chafer is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain National Park (93 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.
