Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Millipede Assassin sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 180th 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.
July and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Millipede Assassin in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and November–June, 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.
6th of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Millipede Assassin sightings, Table Mountain National Park ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in De Hoop Nature Reserve (South Africa, about 20%), Garden Route National Park (South Africa, about 10%) and Addo Elephant National Park (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Millipede Assassin is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain National Park (14 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.
