With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted-Winged Grasshopper sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 213th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–July and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted-Winged Grasshopper in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February and August–November, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spotted-Winged Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Spotted-Winged 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 Spotted-Winged Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (14 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.
