Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Round-Winged Orange Tip sighting in Lake Mburo National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 10th most-seen of the 12 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Round-Winged Orange Tip in Lake Mburo National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to January, the lowest months. That is one of Lake Mburo National Park's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain against 15 mm in July.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Round-Winged Orange Tip sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Round-Winged Orange Tip sightings, Lake Mburo National Park ranks 3rd at about 20%. The best odds are in uMkhuze Game Reserve (South Africa, about 30%) and iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Round-Winged Orange Tip is recorded against all the insects logged in Lake Mburo National Park (5 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.
