About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Emerald-Striped Spreadwing sighting in Kanha National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 58th 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–May and August–October
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Emerald-Striped Spreadwing in Kanha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, June–July and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Emerald-Striped Spreadwing sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kanha National Park, in our data
Kanha National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Emerald-Striped Spreadwing sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Emerald-Striped Spreadwing is recorded against all the insects logged in Kanha National Park (7 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.
