With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Green Grasshopper sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 109th most-seen of the 401 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.
August to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Green Grasshopper in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in November to July, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 70 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large Green Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Large Green Grasshopper sightings, Beijing ranks 10th at about 10%. The best odds are in Taichung (Taiwan, about 20%), Changsha (China, about 20%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Large Green Grasshopper that you can see in Beijing (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Carinate Locust (about 10%), Oriental Longheaded Locust (about 10%) and Slender Green-Winged Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Green Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (31 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.
