With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Maritime Grasshopper sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 244 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 86th 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.
April–June and August–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Maritime Grasshopper in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and July, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Maritime Grasshopper sightings, Tokyo has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Sendai (Japan, about 10%) and Athens (Greece, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Maritime Grasshopper 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 Maritime Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (244 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.
