With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Palm Planthopper sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 204 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 77th most-seen of the 1083 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Palm Planthopper in Brisbane on a given day, against about 10% in October to August, the lowest months. That is one of Brisbane's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 160 mm in February.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Palm Planthopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Palm Planthopper sightings, Brisbane has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Sydney (Australia, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Palm Planthopper that you can see in Brisbane (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Hibiscus Harlequin Bug (about 30%), Common Assassin Bug (about 20%) and Lychee Stink Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Palm Planthopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (204 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.
