Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Niphona appendiculata 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.
April, August and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Niphona appendiculata in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–July, September–October and December–March, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Niphona appendiculata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Niphona appendiculata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Niphona appendiculata that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Crossotus stypticus (about 10%), Xystrocera dispar (about 10%) and Giant Longhorn (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Niphona appendiculata 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.
