Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-Legged Grasshopper sighting in Gunung Leuser National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th most-seen of the 103 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-Legged Grasshopper in Gunung Leuser National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, May and December, the lowest months. That is one of Gunung Leuser National Park's driest months, with about 180 mm of rain against 700 mm in September.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rufous-Legged 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.
Among the best
Of the 8 parks where we can rate Rufous-Legged Grasshopper sightings, Gunung Leuser National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Bako National Park (Malaysia, about 30%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Rufous-Legged Grasshopper that you can see in Gunung Leuser National Park (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Phlaeoba antennata (about 20%) and Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-Legged Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Gunung Leuser National Park (19 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.
