With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Citrus Cicada sighting in Grand Canyon National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 95th most-seen of the 143 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
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Citrus Cicada in Grand Canyon National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. That is one of Grand Canyon National Park's driest months, with almost no rain against 40 mm in March.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Citrus Cicada sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Grand Canyon National Park, in our data
Grand Canyon National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Citrus Cicada sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Citrus Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Grand Canyon National Park (7 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.
