With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Clapping Cicada sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 122 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 58th most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Clapping Cicada in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in May to October, the lowest months.
Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Clapping Cicada sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Clapping Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (122 verified sightings), 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.
