Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Orangewing Cicada sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 345th most-seen of the 401 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.
December and January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Orangewing Cicada in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in February to November, the lowest months. Those are among Durban's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in June.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Brown Orangewing Cicada sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Brown Orangewing Cicada that you can see in Durban (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Tettigoniella cosmopolita (about 10%), Yellow Raintree Spittlebug (about 10%) and Ndebele Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Orangewing Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (5 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.
