Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Opshomala viridis sighting in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 136th most-seen of the 169 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.
April and December–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Opshomala viridis in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, against under 5% in March and May–November, the lowest months. Those are among Rio de Janeiro's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in August.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Opshomala viridis 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 Rio de Janeiro, in our data
Rio de Janeiro is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Opshomala viridis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Opshomala viridis that you can see in Rio de Janeiro (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Abracris flavolineata (about 10%) and Schistocerca flavofasciata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Opshomala viridis is recorded against all the insects logged in Rio de Janeiro (5 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.
