With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Shadow Droplet sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 79 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 42nd 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.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Shadow Droplet in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and May–September, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Shadow Droplet sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Kruger National Park, in our data

Same genus: Acontia

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Shadow Droplet is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (79 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.
