Rhinobombyx is a monotypic moth genus in the family Lasiocampidae erected by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1879. Its single species, Rhinobombyx cuneata, described by the same author in the same year, is found in what is now Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and in what was at the time of description German East Africa.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Zizzag Eggarlet sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 519th 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.
May and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Zizzag Eggarlet in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and November–April, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in February.
Between 4 and 7 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Zizzag Eggarlet sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Kruger National Park, in our data
Kruger National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Zizzag Eggarlet sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Lasiocampidae
The closest relatives of the Zizzag Eggarlet that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Lasiocampidae, Lappet Moths) are Henometa clarki (about 10%), Beralade perobliqua (about 10%) and Sena prompta (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Zizzag Eggarlet is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (7 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.
