With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bark Squeaker sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 85 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 178th most-seen of the 1083 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.
September to March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bark Squeaker in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in April to August, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bark Squeaker sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Bark Squeaker sightings, Brisbane ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, about 10%).
Same family: Cicadidae
The closest relatives of the Bark Squeaker that you can see in Brisbane (family Cicadidae, Typical Cicadas) are Brown Bunyip (about 10%), Clanger (about 10%) and Black Tree-Ticker (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bark Squeaker is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (85 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.
