With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Crypsicerus cubicus sighting in Namib-Naukluft National Park on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th most-seen of the 60 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June

Only Namib-Naukluft National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crypsicerus cubicus is recorded against all the insects logged in Namib-Naukluft National Park (27 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.
