Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Asterope boisduvali sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 338th most-seen of the 748 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asterope boisduvali in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and June–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 noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asterope boisduvali sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Asterope boisduvali sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, about 20%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Asterope boisduvali that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Dancing Amber (about 20%), Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 20%) and Spotted Joker (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asterope boisduvali is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (13 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.
