Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Triangle Snout sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 588th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Triangle Snout in Kruger National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown Triangle Snout sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Brown Triangle Snout sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Springbrook National Park (Australia, about 10%), Daintree National Park (Australia, about 10%) and Blue Mountains National Park (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Triangle Snout is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (6 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.
