With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Headed Fly sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 123rd 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.
November and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Headed Fly in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to October, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against almost none in August.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Headed Fly sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Red-Headed Fly sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in uMkhuze Game Reserve (South Africa, about 20%) and Pilanesberg National Park (South Africa, about 10%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Red-Headed Fly that you can see in Kruger National Park (order Diptera, Flies) are Hippo Fly (about 10%) and Tabanus taeniola (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Headed Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (32 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.
