Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-Green Swamp Grasshopper sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 403rd 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-Green Swamp Grasshopper in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months. That is one of Miami's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain against 45 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Olive-Green Swamp Grasshopper 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 3 cities where we can rate Olive-Green Swamp Grasshopper sightings, Miami ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Washington (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olive-Green Swamp Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (16 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.
