Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Locomotive Grasshopper sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 39 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 431st 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July–August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Locomotive Grasshopper in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–June, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Locomotive 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.
4th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Locomotive Grasshopper sightings, Vienna ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%), Minsk (Belarus, about 10%) and Berlin (Germany, under 5%).
Same genus: Chorthippus
The closest relatives of the Locomotive Grasshopper that you can see in Vienna (genus Chorthippus, Eurasian Field Grasshoppers) are Common Field Grasshopper (about 10%), Steppe Grasshopper (about 10%) and Bow-Winged Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Locomotive Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (39 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.
