Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Comostola laesaria sighting in Kanha National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 50th most-seen of the 106 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.
April and July
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Comostola laesaria in Kanha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–June, August–October and December–February, the lowest months. Those are among Kanha National Park's wettest months, with about 230 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 Comostola laesaria sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Comostola laesaria sightings, Kanha National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Springbrook National Park (Australia, about 20%) and Lamington National Park (Australia, about 10%).
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Comostola laesaria that you can see in Kanha National Park (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Acacia Blood Vein Moth (about 30%) and Black Looper (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Comostola laesaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Kanha 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.
