With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scarlet Tip sighting in Pilanesberg National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 15th most-seen of the 39 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Scarlet Tip in Pilanesberg National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–June and October–January, the lowest months. That is one of Pilanesberg National Park's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain against almost none in August.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scarlet 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 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Scarlet Tip sightings, Pilanesberg National Park ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in uMkhuze Game Reserve (South Africa, about 30%) and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park (South Africa, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scarlet Tip is recorded against all the insects logged in Pilanesberg National Park (11 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.
