Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-Tailed Bee Fly sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 358th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December to February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Tailed Bee Fly in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March to November, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against almost none in August.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Tailed Bee 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.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate White-Tailed Bee Fly sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Addo Elephant National Park (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Tailed Bee Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (11 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.
