Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Common Parasol sighting in Khao Sok National Park on a given day, based on 59 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 104 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and December–January
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Common Parasol in Khao Sok National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to September, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Parasol sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 12
Of the 12 parks where we can rate Common Parasol sightings, Khao Sok National Park ranks 3rd at about 40%. The best odds are in Way Kambas National Park (Indonesia, about 50%) and Bako National Park (Malaysia, about 40%). All parks ranked.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Parasol is recorded against all the insects logged in Khao Sok National Park (59 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.
