Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Kiowa Grasshopper sighting in Denver on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 274th most-seen of the 461 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Kiowa Grasshopper in Denver on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Denver's wettest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 15 mm in January.
Only Denver, in our data
Denver is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Kiowa Grasshopper sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kiowa Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Denver (10 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.
