With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Shield Cicada sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 38 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 175th most-seen of the 832 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.
January to April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Shield Cicada in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in May to December, the lowest months. Those are among São Paulo's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 35 mm in August.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Shield 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.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Green Shield Cicada sightings, São Paulo ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Curitiba (Brazil, about 10%) and Porto Alegre (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Shield Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (38 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.
