Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oak Leafhopper sighting in London on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 724th most-seen of the 1504 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oak Leafhopper in London on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.

Same family: Cicadellidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oak Leafhopper is recorded against all the insects logged in London (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.
