Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pallid Grey sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 219th most-seen of the 344 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pallid Grey in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months. That is one of Table Mountain National Park's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 110 mm in June.
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.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Pallid Grey sightings, Table Mountain National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kruger National Park (South Africa, under 5%) and Garden Route National Park (South Africa, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pallid Grey is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain 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.
