Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Cyana peregrina sighting in Kanha National Park on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 106 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Cyana peregrina in Kanha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–June and August–October, the lowest months. That is one of Kanha National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 430 mm in July.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cyana peregrina sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen 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 Cyana peregrina sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cyana peregrina is recorded against all the insects logged in Kanha National Park (40 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.
