With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ostrich Louse Fly sighting in Namib-Naukluft National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 54th 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.
January–February, April, August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ostrich Louse Fly in Namib-Naukluft National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–July, September and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ostrich Louse Fly sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 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 Ostrich Louse Fly sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ostrich Louse Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Namib-Naukluft 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.
