With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gonista bicolor sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 219 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 80th most-seen of the 1013 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.
September and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Gonista bicolor in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in December to June, the lowest months. Those are among Tokyo's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 75 mm in February.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Gonista bicolor sightings, Tokyo ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Gonista bicolor that you can see in Tokyo (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Oriental Longheaded Locust (about 20%), Patanga japonica (about 10%) and Carinate Locust (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gonista bicolor is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (219 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.
