Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Malagasy Grass Yellow sighting in Ankarafantsika National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 21st most-seen of the 31 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, September–October and December
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Malagasy Grass Yellow in Ankarafantsika National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November, the lowest month. February and March have too few records to rate.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Malagasy Grass Yellow sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Malagasy Grass Yellow sightings, Ankarafantsika National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, about 10%) and Kruger National Park (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Malagasy Grass Yellow is recorded against all the insects logged in Ankarafantsika National Park (5 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.
