Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Linne's Cicada sighting in Chicago on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 379th most-seen of the 978 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Linne's Cicada in Chicago on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Linne's Cicada 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 4 cities where we can rate Linne's Cicada sightings, Chicago ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Baltimore (United States, under 5%) and Washington (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Linne's Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Chicago (26 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.
