With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Caper White sighting in Queen Elizabeth National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 6th most-seen of the 9 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.
April and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Caper White in Queen Elizabeth National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March and July–October, the lowest months. Those are among Queen Elizabeth National Park's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in January.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow Caper White sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Queen Elizabeth National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Caper White is recorded against all the insects logged in Queen Elizabeth 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.
