Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Vine-Leaf Vagrant sighting in uMkhuze Game Reserve on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 30th most-seen of the 59 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and June
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Vine-Leaf Vagrant in uMkhuze Game Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in January, May, July and September–November, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Vine-Leaf Vagrant sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Vine-Leaf Vagrant sightings, uMkhuze Game Reserve has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, about 10%) and Addo Elephant National Park (South Africa, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Vine-Leaf Vagrant is recorded against all the insects logged in uMkhuze Game Reserve (9 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.
