With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Mud Wasp sighting in Namib-Naukluft National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 32nd most-seen of the 60 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black Mud Wasp in Namib-Naukluft National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April, June, August and October, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black Mud Wasp sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Black Mud Wasp sightings, Namib-Naukluft National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Mud Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Namib-Naukluft National Park (10 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.
