With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Gesonula sighting in Yogyakarta on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 99th most-seen of the 141 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and April
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Common Gesonula in Yogyakarta on a given day, against under 5% in March, June–July and September–December, the lowest months. Those are among Yogyakarta's wettest months, with about 270 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in August.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Gesonula sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Common Gesonula sightings, Yogyakarta ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Tasikmalaya (Indonesia, about 20%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Common Gesonula that you can see in Yogyakarta (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Javanese Grasshopper (about 40%), Stenocatantops cornelii (about 30%) and Caryanda spuria (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Gesonula is recorded against all the insects logged in Yogyakarta (7 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.
