Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Megachile chrysorrhoea sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 6 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.
December and January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Megachile chrysorrhoea in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to November, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain a month against almost none in August.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Megachile chrysorrhoea sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Megachile chrysorrhoea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Megachile chrysorrhoea that you can see in Kruger National Park (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Matabele Ant (about 10%), Double-Banded Carpenter Bee (about 10%) and Savanna Spiny Sugar Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Megachile chrysorrhoea is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (6 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.
