Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Zebra Mantis sighting in Gonarezhou National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 12th most-seen of the 31 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Zebra Mantis in Gonarezhou National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March and June–November, the lowest months. That is one of Gonarezhou National Park's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 150 mm in January.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Zebra Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Zebra Mantis sightings, Gonarezhou National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Gorongosa National Park (Mozambique, about 20%) and Kruger National Park (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Zebra Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Gonarezhou National Park (6 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.
