With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Atlantic Grasshopper sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 132nd most-seen of the 496 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
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Atlantic Grasshopper in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, July and October, the lowest months. That is one of Everglades National Park's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain against 40 mm in March.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Atlantic 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.
Only Everglades National Park, in our data
Everglades National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Atlantic Grasshopper sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Atlantic Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (29 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
