Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orbamia octomaculata sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 290th 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.
June–August and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orbamia octomaculata in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–May and September–November, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orbamia octomaculata 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

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orbamia octomaculata is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (15 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.
