Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Whitestripe Stink Bug sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 180th 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

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Whitestripe Stink Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain National Park (13 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.
