Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Jago's Cross-Backed Grasshopper sighting in Lisbon on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 274th most-seen of the 441 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jago's Cross-Backed Grasshopper in Lisbon on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and November–June, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jago's Cross-Backed Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Lisbon (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.
