Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chondracris bengalensis sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 283rd most-seen of the 362 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.
August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chondracris bengalensis in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–July, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's wettest months, with about 360 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Only Mumbai, in our data
Mumbai is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Chondracris bengalensis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Chondracris bengalensis that you can see in Mumbai (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Spathosternum prasiniferum (about 10%), Rice Grasshopper (about 10%) and Carinate Locust (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chondracris bengalensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (8 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.
