Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Locomotive Grasshopper sighting in Hamburg on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 364th most-seen of the 423 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Locomotive Grasshopper in Hamburg on a given day, against under 5% in August 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.
6th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Locomotive Grasshopper sightings, Hamburg ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%), Minsk (Belarus, about 10%) and Berlin (Germany, under 5%).
Same genus: Chorthippus
The closest relatives of the Locomotive Grasshopper that you can see in Hamburg (genus Chorthippus, Eurasian Field Grasshoppers) are Lesser Marsh Grasshopper (about 10%) and Common Field 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 Hamburg (8 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.
