With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Green Grasshopper sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 36th most-seen of the 272 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Large Green Grasshopper in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in November to May, the lowest months. That is one of Nanjing's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain against 40 mm in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large Green 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.
3rd of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Large Green Grasshopper sightings, Nanjing ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Taichung (Taiwan, about 20%) and Changsha (China, about 20%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Large Green Grasshopper that you can see in Nanjing (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Carinate Locust (about 10%), Yellow-Spined Bamboo Locust (about 10%) and Chinese Rice Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Green Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (28 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.
