With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Round-Winged Orange Tip sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 91 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 34th most-seen of the 748 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Those are among Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in February.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Round-Winged Orange Tip sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Round-Winged Orange Tip sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in uMkhuze Game Reserve (South Africa, about 30%), iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, about 20%) and Lake Mburo National Park (Uganda, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Round-Winged Orange Tip is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (91 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.
