With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 58 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 194th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and June–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May and December–February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Short-Winged Rice 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.
18th of 18
Of the 18 cities where we can rate Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper sightings, Hong Kong ranks 18th at about 10%. The best odds are in Davao City (Philippines, about 50%), Xiuying District (China, about 50%) and Manila (Philippines, about 30%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper that you can see in Hong Kong (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Carinate Locust (about 10%), Ceracris nigricornis (about 10%) and Ceracris fasciata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (58 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.
