With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dictyophorus griseus sighting in Masai Mara National Reserve on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th most-seen of the 18 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February, May, July and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dictyophorus griseus in Masai Mara National Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in March–April, June, August–October and December, 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.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Dictyophorus griseus sightings, Masai Mara National Reserve ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Arusha National Park (Tanzania, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dictyophorus griseus is recorded against all the insects logged in Masai Mara National Reserve (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.
