Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cream Grasshopper sighting in Los Angeles on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 715th most-seen of the 851 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cream Grasshopper in Los Angeles on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cream 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.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Cream Grasshopper sightings, Los Angeles ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in San Diego (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Cream Grasshopper that you can see in Los Angeles (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Gray Bird Grasshopper (about 30%) and Pallid-Winged Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cream Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Los Angeles (7 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.
