With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Rice Grasshopper sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 223rd most-seen of the 272 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Rice Grasshopper in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. That is one of Nanjing's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain against 40 mm in December.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Rice Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (6 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.
