Questions travellers ask

A record means a host has seen the Common Quail on the property or nearby. It is never a guarantee of a sighting.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Common Quail in KwaZulu-Natal?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Common Quail at stays in or beside Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and iSimangaliso Wetland Park. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

What is the Common Quail?

Phyllodesma americana, the American lappet moth, is a moth of the family Lasiocampidae. It is found from Nova Scotia to Georgia, west through Texas to California, north to British Columbia and Yukon.
