With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Notched Shield Grasshopper sighting in Lusaka on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 52nd most-seen of the 72 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Notched Shield Grasshopper in Lusaka on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–April, the lowest months. That is one of Lusaka's driest months, with almost no rain against 210 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Notched Shield Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Notched Shield Grasshopper sightings, Lusaka ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Nairobi (Kenya, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Notched Shield Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Lusaka (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.
