Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Locomotive Grasshopper sighting in Berlin on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 353rd most-seen of the 1065 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 Locomotive Grasshopper in Berlin on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Locomotive 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.
3rd of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Locomotive Grasshopper sightings, Berlin ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%) and Minsk (Belarus, about 10%).
Same genus: Chorthippus
The closest relatives of the Locomotive Grasshopper that you can see in Berlin (genus Chorthippus, Eurasian Field Grasshoppers) are Common Field Grasshopper (about 10%) and Steppe Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Locomotive Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Berlin (29 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.
