With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Green Grasshopper sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 56th most-seen of the 218 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Large Green Grasshopper in Kaohsiung on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–May and December, the lowest months. Those are among Kaohsiung's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large Green 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.
7th of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Large Green Grasshopper sightings, Kaohsiung ranks 7th at about 10%. The best odds are in Taichung (Taiwan, about 20%), Changsha (China, about 20%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Large Green Grasshopper that you can see in Kaohsiung (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper (about 20%) and Carinate Locust (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Green Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaohsiung (30 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.
