Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Clear-Winged Grasshopper sighting in Sacramento on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 293rd 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Clear-Winged Grasshopper in Sacramento on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Sacramento's driest months, with almost no rain against 120 mm in December.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Clear-Winged 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.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Clear-Winged Grasshopper sightings, Sacramento ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Edmonton (Canada, about 10%) and Calgary (Canada, under 5%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Clear-Winged Grasshopper that you can see in Sacramento (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are 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 Clear-Winged Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Sacramento (7 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.
