With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Maritime Grasshopper sighting in Athens on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 118th most-seen of the 242 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.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Maritime Grasshopper in Athens on a given day, against under 5% in July–September and December–April, the lowest months. That is one of Athens's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 85 mm in December.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Maritime Grasshopper sightings, Athens ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tokyo (Japan, about 10%) and Sendai (Japan, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Maritime Grasshopper that you can see in Athens (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Egyptian Bird Grasshopper (about 30%), Lamenting Grasshopper (about 10%) and Blue-Winged Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Maritime Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Athens (10 verified sightings), 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.
