With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Palm Planthopper sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 124 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 115th most-seen of the 742 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June–August, October and December–April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Palm Planthopper in Sydney on a given day, against under 5% in May, September and November, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Palm Planthopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Palm Planthopper sightings, Sydney ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Brisbane (Australia, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Palm Planthopper that you can see in Sydney (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Common Assassin Bug (about 30%), Black Prince (about 20%) and Hibiscus Harlequin Bug (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Palm Planthopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (124 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.
