With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow sighting in Pilanesberg National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 12th most-seen of the 39 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow is recorded against all the insects logged in Pilanesberg National Park (11 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.
