With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mediterranean Splendid Grasshopper sighting in Tel Aviv on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 210th most-seen of the 264 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March, September and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mediterranean Splendid Grasshopper in Tel Aviv on a given day, against under 5% in January, April–August and October–November, the lowest months. Those are among Tel Aviv's wettest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against almost none in August.
Only Tel Aviv, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mediterranean Splendid Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Tel Aviv (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.
