Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Marbled Grasshopper sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 58 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 199th most-seen of the 826 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.
May, July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Marbled Grasshopper in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in June, August and October–April, the lowest months. Those are among Miami's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 45 mm in January.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Marbled Grasshopper sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Marbled Grasshopper that you can see in Miami (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Cuban Bird Grasshopper (about 10%), Orphulella punctata (about 10%) and Southern Green-Striped Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Marbled Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (58 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.
