With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Coenobasis amoena sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 22 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.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Coenobasis amoena in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, June–September and November, the lowest months. That is one of Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 110 mm in February.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Coenobasis amoena sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: 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 Coenobasis amoena sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Limacodidae
The closest relatives of the Coenobasis amoena that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Limacodidae, Slug Caterpillar Moths) are Afraltha chionostola (about 10%), Plum-Slug (about 10%) and Rosy Slug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Coenobasis amoena is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (22 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.
