Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Trimen's False Tiger sighting in Gorongosa National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 27th most-seen of the 41 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Trimen's False Tiger in Gorongosa National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–October and December, the lowest months. That is one of Gorongosa National Park's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against 15 mm in May.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Trimen's False Tiger sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Trimen's False Tiger sightings, Gorongosa National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Addo Elephant National Park (South Africa, about 10%) and Kruger National Park (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Trimen's False Tiger is recorded against all the insects logged in Gorongosa National Park (7 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.
