Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cydalima laticostalis sighting in Kanha National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 33rd 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.

In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Cydalima laticostalis in Kanha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and April–October, the lowest months. That is one of Kanha National Park's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 430 mm in July.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cydalima laticostalis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Cydalima laticostalis sightings, Kanha National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Daintree National Park (Australia, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cydalima laticostalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kanha National Park (12 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.
