With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hooded Grasshopper sighting in Hyderabad on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 223rd most-seen of the 318 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May, July, September and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hooded Grasshopper in Hyderabad on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, June, August and October–November, the lowest months.
Only Hyderabad, in our data
Hyderabad is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hooded Grasshopper sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Hooded Grasshopper that you can see in Hyderabad (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Carinate Locust (about 10%), Brown‐spotted Locust (about 10%) and Spathosternum prasiniferum (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hooded Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Hyderabad (7 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.
