Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Streblote polydora sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 588th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Streblote polydora in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July–October and December–May, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Streblote polydora sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Kruger National Park, in our data
Kruger National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Streblote polydora sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Streblote polydora is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (6 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.
