Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leek Grasshopper sighting in Milan on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 221st most-seen of the 351 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leek Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Milan (10 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.
