Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow sighting in uMkhuze Game Reserve on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 41st most-seen of the 59 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and July–August
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow in uMkhuze Game Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, June and September–November, the lowest months. Those are among uMkhuze Game Reserve's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 120 mm in February.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 12
Of the 12 parks where we can rate Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow sightings, uMkhuze Game Reserve ranks 3rd at about 20%. The best odds are in Kafue National Park (Zambia, about 30%) and iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa, about 20%).
Same family: Pieridae
The closest relatives of the Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow that you can see in uMkhuze Game Reserve (family Pieridae, Whites, Yellows, and Sulphurs) are Sulphur Orange Tip (about 40%), African Caper (about 40%) and Round-Winged Orange Tip (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Broad-Bordered Grass Yellow is recorded against all the insects logged in uMkhuze Game 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.
