With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Iberian Field Grasshopper sighting in Madrid on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 179th most-seen of the 457 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–June and September–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Iberian Field Grasshopper in Madrid on a given day, against under 5% in July–August and December–April, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Iberian Field Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Iberian Field Grasshopper sightings, Madrid ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Lisbon (Portugal, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Iberian Field Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Madrid (20 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.
