Oecanthus niveus, known generally as the narrow-winged tree cricket or sometimes snowy tree cricket (though possibly from confusion with Oecanthus fultoni), is a species of tree cricket in the family Oecanthidae.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Narrow-Winged Tree Cricket sighting in Chicago on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 560th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Narrow-Winged Tree Cricket in Chicago on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Narrow-Winged Tree Cricket sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Narrow-Winged Tree Cricket sightings, Chicago ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Boston (United States, about 10%), Montreal (Canada, under 5%) and Minneapolis [Saint Paul] (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Narrow-Winged Tree Cricket is recorded against all the insects logged in Chicago (12 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.
