In 3 days ~70% in a week ~90%
Dolichopoda azami, the Azam's cave-cricket, is a species of cave cricket within the family Rhaphidophoridae. The species distribution is in France in the Southern Alps and in Italy in Piedmont, Liguria and Lombardia, where it lives in various dark habitats that have stable temperatures and high humidity. Such habitats include rocky forests, caves, damaged bridges or aqueducts, and abandoned/disused buildings at elevations of 120 to 1,940 metres (390 to 6,360 ft). It lives in these habitats during the day and is primarily active at night.
Dolichopoda azami has been assessed as 'Least concern' by the IUCN Red List as it has no known major threats, is common, and occurs in at least 1 protected area. Direct human threats on the species are rare and are believed to not severely impact the species population. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Azam's Cave-Cricket sighting in Mercantour National Park on a given day, based on 55 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 31st most-seen of the 412 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report an Azam's Cave-Cricket in Mercantour National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to April, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Azam's Cave-Cricket sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Mercantour National Park, in our data
Mercantour National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Azam's Cave-Cricket sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Orthoptera
The closest relatives of the Azam's Cave-Cricket that you can see in Mercantour National Park (order Orthoptera, Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Katydids) are Wart-Biter (about 50%), Alpes-Maritime Mountain Grasshopper (about 50%) and Alpine Saddle-Backed Bush-Cricket (about 50%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Azam's Cave-Cricket is recorded against all the insects logged in Mercantour National Park (55 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.
