Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Little Duskhawker 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 588th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Little Duskhawker in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months. That is one of Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 110 mm in February.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Little Duskhawker sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kruger National Park, in our data
Kruger National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Little Duskhawker sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Aeshnidae
The closest relatives of the Little Duskhawker that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Aeshnidae, Darners) are Blue Emperor (about 10%) and Vagrant Emperor (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Little Duskhawker 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.
