With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Coated Orange Peel sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 123rd 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–July and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Coated Orange Peel in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February and August–October, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Coated Orange Peel sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Kruger National Park, in our data
Kruger National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Coated Orange Peel sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Coated Orange Peel that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Sundowner Moth (about 20%), Creamstriped Owl (about 10%) and Crimson-Speckled Flunkey (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Coated Orange Peel is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (35 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.
