With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Gesonula sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 191 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 206th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and June–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Gesonula in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in February–March and May, the lowest months.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Gesonula sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Common Gesonula sightings, Singapore ranks 5th at about 10%. The best odds are in Tasikmalaya (Indonesia, about 20%), Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 10%) and Bandung (Indonesia, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Common Gesonula that you can see in Singapore (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Rufous-Legged Grasshopper (about 30%), Javanese Grasshopper (about 20%) and Traulia azureipennis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Gesonula is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (191 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.
