With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Neoclanis basalis sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 207th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, May and November–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Neoclanis basalis in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April and June–October, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's wettest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against almost none in August.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Neoclanis basalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Kruger National Park, in our data
Kruger National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Neoclanis basalis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Sphingidae
The closest relatives of the Neoclanis basalis that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Sphingidae, Sphinx Moths) are Wavy Polyptychus (about 10%), Vine Hawkmoth (about 10%) and Marshalls Hawk (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Neoclanis basalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (21 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.
