With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Meadow Katydid sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 189 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 100th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Meadow Katydid in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in August and December–May, the lowest months. Those are among Tokyo's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 75 mm in February.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spotted Meadow Katydid sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 20
Of the 20 cities where we can rate Spotted Meadow Katydid sightings, Tokyo ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Gwangju (South Korea, about 30%), Nagoya (Japan, about 20%) and Xiuying District (China, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spotted Meadow Katydid is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (189 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.
