With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Negeta luminosa sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 176th most-seen of the 748 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Negeta luminosa in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to February, 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 Negeta luminosa 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 Negeta luminosa sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nolidae
The closest relatives of the Negeta luminosa that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Nolidae, Tufted Moths) are Red Flag (about 10%), Cream Drab (about 10%) and Spiny Bollworm (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Negeta luminosa is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (26 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.
