With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Speckled Black Cicada sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 153 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 66th most-seen of the 1125 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.
March and April
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Speckled Black Cicada in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in June to February, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Speckled Black 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Speckled Black Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (153 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.
