With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Angled Gem sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 254th most-seen of the 748 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.
March to May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Angled Gem in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to February, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Angled Gem sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Angled Gem sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Addo Elephant National Park (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Angled Gem is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (17 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.
