Kruger Part trip - suggestions about watching insects

[sbiriguda]

Soon I will be in Kruger park (South Africa). In this trip I will mostly watch big animals...
But perhaps you have suggestions on observing insects, some of you use traps I think
In Kruger I will have to self drive without going out from the car, so I can observe insects while I stop the car here and here and perhaps at night inside the camps
Thanks for any suggestion for this trip

Well, it all depends on the time of year. If you mean soon as in the next two or three months, you'll be here during winter (which isn't all too great for insect activity). Still, it is the Lowveld, and there would be more insects around compared to the interior of the country. Just a word of caution, however, collecting is prohibited without the necessary permits, but photographing insects is just fine. Don't use traps in the parks, but you can look around the lights in the camps at night (watch out for leopards - though you won't see them till it's too late!). Also, you are not allowed to leave your vehicle except in designated areas or in the camps.
