Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hecyra terrea 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.
March and July–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hecyra terrea in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–June and November–February, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hecyra terrea sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and 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 Hecyra terrea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Hecyra terrea that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Crossotus stypticus (about 10%), Xystrocera dispar (about 10%) and Giant Longhorn (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hecyra terrea 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.
