Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Garden Fleahopper sighting in Washington on a given day, based on 63 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 487th most-seen of the 1807 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 Garden Fleahopper in Washington on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Garden Fleahopper sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Of the 5 cities where we can rate Garden Fleahopper sightings, Washington has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Philadelphia (United States, under 5%) and Miami (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Garden Fleahopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Washington (63 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.
