Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Shimmering Sugar Ant 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Shimmering Sugar Ant in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Shimmering Sugar Ant sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Shimmering Sugar Ant sightings, Table Mountain National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Garden Route National Park (South Africa, under 5%) and Kruger National Park (South Africa, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Shimmering Sugar Ant 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.
