With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Mud Wasp sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 217th 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.
June, August and October–March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Mud Wasp in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, July and September, 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.
Among the best
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Black Mud Wasp sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 4th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, about 10%), 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 Kruger National Park (20 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.
