Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tuberous Bush-Cricket sighting in Cévennes National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 814th most-seen of the 996 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tuberous Bush-Cricket in Cévennes National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months. Those are among Cévennes National Park's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against 260 mm in October.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tuberous Bush-Cricket sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Tuberous Bush-Cricket sightings, Cévennes National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Fertő-Hanság National Park (Hungary, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tuberous Bush-Cricket is recorded against all the insects logged in Cévennes National Park (6 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.
