Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Leafhopper sighting in Seattle on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 140th most-seen of the 428 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.
July to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Leafhopper in Seattle on a given day, against under 5% in November to June, the lowest months. Those are among Seattle's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against 190 mm in November.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Japanese Leafhopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
12th of 23
Of the 23 cities where we can rate Japanese Leafhopper sightings, Seattle ranks 12th at under 5%. The best odds are in Berlin (Germany, about 10%), Munich (Germany, about 10%) and Kyiv (Ukraine, about 10%).
Same family: Cicadellidae
The closest relatives of the Japanese Leafhopper that you can see in Seattle (family Cicadellidae, Typical Leafhoppers) are Blue-Green Sharpshooter (about 10%) and Rhododendron Leafhopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Leafhopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Seattle (35 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.
