With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Mud Wasp sighting in iSimangaliso Wetland Park on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 77th most-seen of the 316 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black Mud Wasp in iSimangaliso Wetland Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–May and July–August, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black Mud Wasp sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Black Mud Wasp sightings, iSimangaliso Wetland Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Namib-Naukluft National Park (Namibia, about 10%) and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Mud Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (25 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.
