With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Kneed Meadow Katydid sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 52nd most-seen of the 239 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Kneed Meadow Katydid in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in January, July and October–November, the lowest months. That is one of Jakarta's driest months, with about 85 mm of rain against 370 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-Kneed Meadow Katydid sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
4th of 19
Of the 19 cities where we can rate Black-Kneed Meadow Katydid sightings, Jakarta ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Guiyang (China, about 30%), Sendai (Japan, about 20%) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Kneed Meadow Katydid is recorded against all the insects logged in Jakarta (25 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.
