Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Brunia antica sighting in Kanha National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 67th most-seen of the 106 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.
February and July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Brunia antica in Kanha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–June, August–October and December, the lowest months. Those are among Kanha National Park's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in November.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brunia antica sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Kanha National Park, in our data
Kanha National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Brunia antica sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Brunia antica that you can see in Kanha National Park (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Handmaiden Moth (about 50%), Lymantria marginata (about 40%) and Banyan Tussock Moth (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brunia antica is recorded against all the insects logged in Kanha National Park (6 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.
