Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Palni Four-Ring sighting in Eravikulam National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 9 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and September
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Palni Four-Ring in Eravikulam National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, May, July–August and November–January, the lowest months. Those are among Eravikulam National Park's wettest months, with about 310 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in February.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Palni Four-Ring 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 Eravikulam National Park, in our data
Eravikulam National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Palni Four-Ring sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Palni Four-Ring is recorded against all the insects logged in Eravikulam 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.
