With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Cicada sighting in Madrid on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 139th most-seen of the 457 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Common Cicada in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. That is one of Madrid's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 65 mm in October.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Cicada sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Common Cicada sightings, Madrid ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Valencia (Spain, about 20%) and Athens (Greece, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Madrid (28 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.
