Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chalky Snout sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 656th 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chalky Snout in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months. That is one of Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 110 mm in February.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chalky Snout sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Chalky Snout sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Daintree National Park (Australia, about 10%) and Lamington National Park (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chalky Snout is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (5 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.
