With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hycleus svakopinus sighting in Namib-Naukluft National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 47th most-seen of the 60 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and April
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Hycleus svakopinus in Namib-Naukluft National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May to January, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hycleus svakopinus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Namib-Naukluft National Park, in our data
Namib-Naukluft National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hycleus svakopinus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Hycleus
The closest relatives of the Hycleus svakopinus that you can see in Namib-Naukluft National Park (genus Hycleus) are Hycleus hybridus (about 10%) and Hycleus tinctus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hycleus svakopinus is recorded against all the insects logged in Namib-Naukluft 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.
