With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Lined Shadefly sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 150th 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.
May and November–March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Lined Shadefly in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in 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 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange-Lined Shadefly sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Orange-Lined Shadefly sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Orange-Lined Shadefly that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Dancing Amber (about 20%), Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 20%) and Spotted Joker (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-Lined Shadefly is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (30 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.
