With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cape Thorntail sighting in Garden Route National Park on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 142nd most-seen of the 298 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November to January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cape Thorntail in Garden Route National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to October, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cape Thorntail 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 Garden Route National Park, in our data
Garden Route National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cape Thorntail sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cape Thorntail is recorded against all the insects logged in Garden Route 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.
