Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Leafhopper sighting in Vancouver on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 168th most-seen of the 482 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Leafhopper in Vancouver on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Vancouver's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain against 210 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.
15th of 23
Of the 23 cities where we can rate Japanese Leafhopper sightings, Vancouver ranks 15th 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 Vancouver (family Cicadellidae, Typical Leafhoppers) are Rhododendron Leafhopper (about 10%) and Blue-Green Sharpshooter (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 Vancouver (34 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.
