Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plum-Slug sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 219th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plum-Slug in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Plum-Slug sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Plum-Slug sightings, Table Mountain National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kruger National Park (South Africa, about 10%) and Garden Route National Park (South Africa, about 10%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Plum-Slug that you can see in Table Mountain National Park (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Garden Acraea (about 30%), Cape Autumn Widow (about 20%) and Cape Lappet (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plum-Slug is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain National Park (11 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.
