About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Suring Moth sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 127 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 38th most-seen of the 344 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Suring Moth in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November to March, the lowest months. Those are among Table Mountain National Park's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in February.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Suring Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Suring Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Suring Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain National Park (127 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.
