Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leek Grasshopper sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 760th most-seen of the 1406 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 Leek Grasshopper in Vienna on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leek Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Leek Grasshopper sightings, Vienna ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Milan (Italy, under 5%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Leek Grasshopper that you can see in Vienna (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Italian Locust (about 20%), Meadow Grasshopper (about 10%) and Common Field Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leek Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (14 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.
