Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Rice Grasshopper sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 650th most-seen of the 765 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Rice Grasshopper in Taipei on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Chinese Rice Grasshopper sightings, Taipei ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, under 5%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Chinese Rice Grasshopper that you can see in Taipei (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper (about 20%), Hieroglyphus tonkinensis (about 20%) and Large Green Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Rice Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (6 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.
