About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Streaked Sailer sighting in iSimangaliso Wetland Park on a given day, based on 57 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 316 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.
April
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Streaked Sailer in iSimangaliso Wetland Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and October, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Streaked Sailer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only iSimangaliso Wetland Park, in our data
iSimangaliso Wetland Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Streaked Sailer sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Streaked Sailer is recorded against all the insects logged in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (57 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.
