With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Snoring Cicada sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 33 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 211th most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–May and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Snoring Cicada in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in January and June–November, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Snoring Cicada sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Snoring 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 Snoring Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (33 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.
