In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Gammarotettix bilobatus, also known as the arboreal camel cricket, is a North American species of camel cricket in the family Rhaphidophoridae. It is found in California, including along the Coast Ranges and as far south as Gilroy. Adults emerge in February and live until June. Host plants of G. bilobatus include California buckeye, California bay, coast live oak, barberry, Monterey pine, black locust, California lilac, and Christmas berry. To evade predators such as the chestnut-backed chickadee, they jump to the ground. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Arboreal Camel Cricket sighting in Sacramento on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 260th most-seen of the 386 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Arboreal Camel Cricket in Sacramento on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Only Sacramento, in our data

Same order: Orthoptera
The closest relatives of the Arboreal Camel Cricket that you can see in Sacramento (order Orthoptera, Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Katydids) are Mediterranean Katydid (about 10%), Pallid-Winged Grasshopper (about 10%) and Gray Bird Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Arboreal Camel Cricket is recorded against all the insects logged in Sacramento (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.
