With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Trimen's Knob sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 33 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 133rd 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.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Trimen's Knob in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, June, August and October, the lowest months. That is one of Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 110 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Trimen's Knob sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Trimen's Knob sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Ankarafantsika National Park (Madagascar, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Trimen's Knob is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (33 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.
