Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Windowed Erythrina-Borer 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 656th 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.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Windowed Erythrina-Borer in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Windowed Erythrina-Borer 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.
Only Kruger National Park, in our data
Kruger National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Windowed Erythrina-Borer sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Windowed Erythrina-Borer that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Jasmine Moth (about 10%), Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 10%) and Measured Pearl (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Windowed Erythrina-Borer 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.
