Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Laelia clarki sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 315th 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–May and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Laelia clarki in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and November–March, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 20 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 Laelia clarki 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.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Laelia clarki sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Laelia clarki 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 Laelia clarki is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (14 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.
