With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lunate Lady Beetle sighting in Serengeti National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 10th most-seen of the 14 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
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lunate Lady Beetle in Serengeti National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, June and August–December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lunate Lady Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 10
Of the 10 parks where we can rate Lunate Lady Beetle sightings, Serengeti National Park ranks 7th at about 10%. The best odds are in Nairobi National Park (Kenya, about 30%), West Coast National Park (South Africa, about 30%) and De Hoop Nature Reserve (South Africa, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lunate Lady Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Serengeti 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.
