With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Netted Slug sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 265th 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.
May and November–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Netted Slug 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 65 mm of rain a month against almost none in August.
Between 4 and 7 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Netted Slug sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Netted Slug sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Gorongosa National Park (Mozambique, about 20%).
Same family: Limacodidae
The closest relatives of the Netted Slug that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Limacodidae, Slug Caterpillar Moths) are Afraltha chionostola (about 10%), Plum-Slug (about 10%) and Rosy Slug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Netted Slug is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (18 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.
