Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Caledia sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 808th most-seen of the 875 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 Caledia in Melbourne on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Caledia sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Caledia sightings, Melbourne ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, under 5%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Caledia that you can see in Melbourne (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Wingless Grasshopper (about 10%) and Giant Green Slantface (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Caledia is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (5 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.
