Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Epipagis olesialis sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 358th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Epipagis olesialis in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to March, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in February.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Epipagis olesialis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Kruger National Park, in our data
Kruger National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Epipagis olesialis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Epipagis olesialis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (11 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.
