Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bronze Tree-Buzzer sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 558th most-seen of the 742 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bronze Tree-Buzzer in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Bronze Tree-Buzzer sightings, Sydney ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Brisbane (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Cicadidae
The closest relatives of the Bronze Tree-Buzzer that you can see in Sydney (family Cicadidae, Typical Cicadas) are Black Prince (about 20%), Silver Princess (about 20%) and Floury Baker (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bronze Tree-Buzzer is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (7 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.
