With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phthonandria pinguis sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 229th 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–April, June and October–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phthonandria pinguis in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, May and July–September, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Phthonandria pinguis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Phthonandria pinguis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (20 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.
