Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fontana Grasshopper 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.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fontana Grasshopper in Sacramento on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months. Those are among 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 Fontana 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.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Fontana Grasshopper sightings, Sacramento has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come San Francisco (United States, under 5%) and Los Angeles (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fontana Grasshopper 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.
