Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Cicada sighting in Barcelona on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 285th most-seen of the 381 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Cicada in Barcelona on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Cicada sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Common Cicada sightings, Barcelona ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Valencia (Spain, about 20%), Athens (Greece, about 10%) and Madrid (Spain, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Barcelona (11 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.
