Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Meadow Katydid sighting in Osaka on a given day, based on 101 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 29th most-seen of the 352 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Meadow Katydid in Osaka on a given day, against under 5% in January to May, the lowest months. That is one of Osaka's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain against 55 mm in January.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spotted Meadow Katydid sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 20
Of the 20 cities where we can rate Spotted Meadow Katydid sightings, Osaka ranks 4th at about 20%. The best odds are in Gwangju (South Korea, about 30%), Nagoya (Japan, about 20%) and Xiuying District (China, about 20%).
Same genus: Conocephalus
The closest relatives of the Spotted Meadow Katydid that you can see in Osaka (genus Conocephalus, Lesser Meadow Katydids) are Conocephalus exemptus (about 10%), Black-Kneed Meadow Katydid (about 10%) and Conocephalus chinensis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spotted Meadow Katydid is recorded against all the insects logged in Osaka (101 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.
