Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Pyrops coelestinus sighting in Cat Tien National Park on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 13th most-seen of the 125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and December–January
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Pyrops coelestinus in Cat Tien National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, July and October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pyrops coelestinus sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Cat Tien National Park, in our data
Cat Tien National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pyrops coelestinus sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Pyrops coelestinus that you can see in Cat Tien National Park (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Sugarcane Spittlebug (about 20%) and Dundubia nagarasingna (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pyrops coelestinus is recorded against all the insects logged in Cat Tien National Park (25 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.
