Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Tasmanian Hairy Cicada sighting in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 20 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Tasmanian Hairy Cicada in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and December–January, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tasmanian Hairy Cicada sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, in our data
Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tasmanian Hairy Cicada sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tasmanian Hairy Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park (14 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
