Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Small Gold Grasshopper sighting in Munich on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 445th most-seen of the 521 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Small Gold Grasshopper in Munich on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Munich's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain against 60 mm in February.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Small Gold Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 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 Small Gold Grasshopper sightings, Munich ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Vienna (Austria, under 5%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Small Gold Grasshopper that you can see in Munich (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Blue-Winged Grasshopper (about 10%), Meadow Grasshopper (about 10%) and Common Field Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Small Gold Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Munich (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.
