In 3 days ~60% in a week ~90%
Hyalessa maculaticollis is a species of cicada found in Northeast Asia in the order Hemiptera. Regarding the classification, the genus of the species was changed from Hyalessa to Oncotympana because of its difference from the species found in the Philippines.
In Japan, the name of this cicada is derived from the sound it makes. It is known as minminzemi (ミンミンゼミ, literally, minmin cicada) because of its well-known male song that sounds like 'mi—n, minminminminmi...' (Japanese: ミーンミンミンミンミンミー...).
In Korea, it has the name chammaemi (참매미) (literally 'true cicada' or 'common cicada'), indicating the commonality of this species in Korea. In China, it is called diāo liáo (蛁蟟). Hyalessa maculaticollis is found in China, Japan, the Korean Peninsula and maritime areas of Russia. Individuals in Korea, Eastern China and Far East Russia were considered to be Hyalessa fuscata (Distant, 1905) but recent taxonomic data shows H. fuscata is a synonym of H. maculaticollis.
In Japan, they are distributed from the Oshima Peninsula in southern Hokkaido to Honshu, Kyushu, and their surrounding islands (Tsushima, Koshiki Islands). Their distribution is limited by the... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Robust Cicada sighting in Daegu on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 12th most-seen of the 38 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Robust Cicada in Daegu on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–June and September–October, the lowest months. That is one of Daegu's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain against 25 mm in December. December has too few records to rate.
Yes
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Robust Cicada sightings, Daegu has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Seoul (South Korea, about 30%) and Sendai (Japan, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Robust Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Daegu (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.
