With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Faced Bush-Cricket sighting in Istanbul on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 66th most-seen of the 266 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a White-Faced Bush-Cricket in Istanbul on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–March, the lowest months. That is one of Istanbul's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 90 mm in December.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Faced Bush-Cricket sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Faced Bush-Cricket is recorded against all the insects logged in Istanbul (22 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.
