Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Bandwing Grasshopper sighting in Perth on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 175th most-seen of the 275 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.
February, April and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Bandwing Grasshopper in Perth on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–August and October–January, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Bandwing 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.
Only Perth, in our data
Perth is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Common Bandwing Grasshopper sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Common Bandwing Grasshopper that you can see in Perth (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Giant Grasshopper (about 20%), Giant Green Slantface (about 10%) and Common Gumleaf Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Bandwing Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Perth (10 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.
