Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green Bird Grasshopper sighting in Phoenix on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 126th most-seen of the 264 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.
August to November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Bird Grasshopper in Phoenix on a given day, against under 5% in December to July, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Bird Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Phoenix (15 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.
