Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ruspolia lineosa sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 144th most-seen of the 215 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.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ruspolia lineosa in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. Those are among Shanghai's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 55 mm in December.
4th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Ruspolia lineosa sightings, Shanghai ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Sendai (Japan, about 10%), Hangzhou (China, about 10%) and Seoul (South Korea, about 10%).
Same family: Tettigoniidae
The closest relatives of the Ruspolia lineosa that you can see in Shanghai (family Tettigoniidae, Katydids) are Mecopoda niponensis (about 10%), Irritating Grasshopper (about 10%) and Ducetia japonica (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ruspolia lineosa is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (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.
