With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lemon Lappet sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 280th 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 April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lemon Lappet in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May to February, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lemon Lappet sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Lemon Lappet sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lemon Lappet is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (16 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.
