With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Malagasy Grass Yellow sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 254th most-seen of the 748 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March and May–June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Malagasy Grass Yellow in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and July–January, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Malagasy Grass Yellow is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (17 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.
