Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-Legged Grasshopper sighting in Kuching on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 24th most-seen of the 30 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-Legged Grasshopper in Kuching on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, May–June, September and November, the lowest months. That is one of Kuching's wettest months, with about 460 mm of rain against 220 mm in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rufous-Legged Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 16
Of the 16 cities where we can rate Rufous-Legged Grasshopper sightings, Kuching ranks 4th at about 20%. The best odds are in Singapore (Singapore, about 30%), Thiruvananthapuram (India, about 30%) and Guwahati (India, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-Legged Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuching (6 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.
