Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Broadwinged Katydid sighting in Osaka on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 214th most-seen of the 352 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.
June and September–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Broadwinged Katydid in Osaka on a given day, against under 5% in July–August and December–May, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Japanese Broadwinged Katydid sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Japanese Broadwinged Katydid sightings, Osaka ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
Same family: Tettigoniidae
The closest relatives of the Japanese Broadwinged Katydid that you can see in Osaka (family Tettigoniidae, Katydids) are Spotted Meadow Katydid (about 20%), Gampsocleis buergeri (about 10%) and Euconocephalus varius (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Broadwinged Katydid is recorded against all the insects logged in Osaka (9 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.
