Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Beautiful Tiger sighting in Garden Route National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 261st most-seen of the 298 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.
February–March, July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Beautiful Tiger in Garden Route National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–June, August and October–January, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Beautiful Tiger sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Beautiful Tiger sightings, Garden Route National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Arusha National Park (Tanzania, about 20%) and iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Beautiful Tiger is recorded against all the insects logged in Garden Route National Park (5 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.
