No species of the same family or order lives in Casablanca, so these are its closest relatives here: other insects.
Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Garden Locust sighting in Casablanca on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 9th most-seen of the 11 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September–October and December
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Garden Locust in Casablanca on a given day, against under 5% in February–April and July–August, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Garden Locust sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Garden Locust sightings, Casablanca ranks 2nd at about 30%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Lusaka (Zambia, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Garden Locust is recorded against all the insects logged in Casablanca (5 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.
