Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Resonant Cicada sighting in Orlando on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 148th most-seen of the 294 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Resonant Cicada in Orlando on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–April, the lowest months. Those are among Orlando's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 50 mm in November.
Only Orlando, in our data
Orlando is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Resonant Cicada sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Resonant Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Orlando (11 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.
