Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sunflower Seed Bug sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 165th 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.
March and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sunflower Seed Bug in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–October and December–February, the lowest months. Those are among Table Mountain National Park's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in June.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sunflower Seed Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Sunflower Seed Bug sightings, Table Mountain National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Addo Elephant National Park (South Africa, about 10%), iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, about 10%) and Garden Route National Park (South Africa, under 5%).
Same family: Pentatomidae
The closest relatives of the Sunflower Seed Bug that you can see in Table Mountain National Park (family Pentatomidae, Stink Bugs) are Brown Stink Bug (about 10%), Southern Green Stink Bug (about 10%) and Antestia Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sunflower Seed Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain National Park (18 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.
