With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow sighting in Namib-Naukluft National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 54th most-seen of the 60 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.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow in Namib-Naukluft National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April and June–December, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow is recorded against all the insects logged in Namib-Naukluft 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.
