With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Kaempfer Cicada sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 71st most-seen of the 272 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kaempfer Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (19 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.
