With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Danuria thunbergi sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 229th 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.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Danuria thunbergi in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to November, the lowest months. That is one of Kruger National Park's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain against almost none in August.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Danuria thunbergi 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 Danuria thunbergi sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Danuria thunbergi is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (19 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.
