With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Raintree Spittlebug sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 99th most-seen of the 123 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.
November and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Raintree Spittlebug in Nairobi on a given day, against under 5% in January–April and June–October, the lowest months. Those are among Nairobi's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in July.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow Raintree Spittlebug sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Yellow Raintree Spittlebug sightings, Nairobi ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Harare (Zimbabwe, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Yellow Raintree Spittlebug that you can see in Nairobi (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Picasso Bug (about 20%), Greenhouse Orthezia (about 10%) and Citron Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Raintree Spittlebug is recorded against all the insects logged in Nairobi (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.
