With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Rice Grasshopper sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 206 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 131st 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Rice Grasshopper in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Japanese Rice 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 4 cities where we can rate Japanese Rice Grasshopper sightings, Singapore has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Tokyo (Japan, about 10%) and Osaka (Japan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Rice Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (206 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.
