With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Texas Range Grasshopper sighting in Channel Islands National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 117th most-seen of the 131 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Texas Range Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Channel Islands National Park (5 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.
