With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Kaempfer Cicada sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 67 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 42nd most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Kaempfer Cicada in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months. That is one of Beijing's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain against almost none in January.
12th of 17
Of the 17 cities where we can rate Kaempfer Cicada sightings, Beijing ranks 12th at about 10%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 20%), Jinan (China, about 20%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 20%).
Same family: Cicadidae
The closest relatives of the Kaempfer Cicada that you can see in Beijing (family Cicadidae, Typical Cicadas) are Robust Cicada (about 10%) and Eastern Horse Cicada (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kaempfer Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (67 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.
