Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Maquis Grasshopper sighting in Madrid on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 274th most-seen of the 457 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June–July and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Maquis Grasshopper in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and November–May, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Maquis 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.
12th of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Common Maquis Grasshopper sightings, Madrid ranks 12th at under 5%. The best odds are in Lyon (France, about 10%), Bucharest (Romania, about 10%) and Algiers (Algeria, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Maquis Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Madrid (12 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.
