With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Katydid sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 56 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 258th most-seen of the 1083 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.
September and December–April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Katydid in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May–August and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mountain Katydid sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mountain Katydid sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tettigoniidae
The closest relatives of the Mountain Katydid that you can see in Brisbane (family Tettigoniidae, Katydids) are 32-Spotted Katydid (about 10%), Greenish Meadow Katydid (about 10%) and Austrophlugis debaari (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mountain Katydid is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (56 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.
