Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Thericlesiella meridionalis sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 138th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October to February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Thericlesiella meridionalis in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March to September, the lowest months. Those are among Table Mountain National Park's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in June.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Thericlesiella meridionalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Thericlesiella meridionalis sightings, Table Mountain National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in De Hoop Nature Reserve (South Africa, about 20%).
Same order: Orthoptera
The closest relatives of the Thericlesiella meridionalis that you can see in Table Mountain National Park (order Orthoptera, Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Katydids) are Koppie Foam Grasshopper (about 20%), Garden Locust (about 10%) and Blue-Legged Sylvan Katydid (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Thericlesiella meridionalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain National Park (25 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.
