Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pallid Grey sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 430th most-seen of the 748 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pallid Grey in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in February.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pallid Grey sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Pallid Grey sightings, Kruger National Park has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Garden Route National Park (South Africa, under 5%) and Table Mountain National Park (South Africa, under 5%).
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Pallid Grey that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Vestal (about 10%), Whiterim Chlorissa (about 10%) and Pale Dusty Brindle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pallid Grey is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (9 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.
