Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Dictyophorus griseus sighting in Arusha National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 4th most-seen of the 13 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and August–September
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Dictyophorus griseus in Arusha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–February, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dictyophorus griseus 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 2 parks where we can rate Dictyophorus griseus sightings, Arusha National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dictyophorus griseus is recorded against all the insects logged in Arusha National Park (7 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.
