Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Catonia nava sighting in Shenandoah National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 630th most-seen of the 723 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Catonia nava in Shenandoah National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Catonia nava sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Shenandoah National Park, in our data
Shenandoah National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Catonia nava sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Catonia nava that you can see in Shenandoah National Park (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Spotted Lanternfly (about 50%), Large Milkweed Bug (about 20%) and Acanthocephala terminalis (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Catonia nava is recorded against all the insects logged in Shenandoah National Park (6 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.
