With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Gesonula sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 99th most-seen of the 245 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.
February and July–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Gesonula in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in March–June and December–January, the lowest months.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Gesonula sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Common Gesonula sightings, Bangkok ranks 7th at about 10%. The best odds are in Tasikmalaya (Indonesia, about 20%), Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 10%) and Bandung (Indonesia, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Common Gesonula that you can see in Bangkok (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Javanese Grasshopper (about 10%), Rufous-Legged Grasshopper (about 10%) and Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Gesonula is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (21 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.
