With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Meadow Katydid sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 130th most-seen of the 218 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.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Meadow Katydid in Kaohsiung on a given day, against under 5% in January to June, the lowest months. That is one of Kaohsiung's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 440 mm in August.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spotted Meadow Katydid sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
12th of 20
Of the 20 cities where we can rate Spotted Meadow Katydid sightings, Kaohsiung ranks 12th at about 10%. The best odds are in Gwangju (South Korea, about 30%), Nagoya (Japan, about 20%) and Xiuying District (China, about 20%).
Same order: Orthoptera
The closest relatives of the Spotted Meadow Katydid that you can see in Kaohsiung (order Orthoptera, Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Katydids) are Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper (about 20%), Large Green Grasshopper (about 10%) 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 Spotted Meadow Katydid is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaohsiung (10 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.
