Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-Legged Grasshopper sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 925th most-seen of the 1125 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 Rufous-Legged Grasshopper in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rufous-Legged Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
16th of 16
Of the 16 cities where we can rate Rufous-Legged Grasshopper sightings, Hong Kong ranks 16th at under 5%. The best odds are in Singapore (Singapore, about 30%), Thiruvananthapuram (India, about 30%) and Guwahati (India, about 20%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Rufous-Legged Grasshopper that you can see in Hong Kong (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Carinate Locust (about 10%), Ceracris nigricornis (about 10%) and Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-Legged Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (6 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.
