Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cream Grasshopper sighting in Joshua Tree National Park on a given day, based on 57 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 34th most-seen of the 190 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, April–July and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cream Grasshopper in Joshua Tree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October and December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cream 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.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Cream Grasshopper sightings, Joshua Tree National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Saguaro National Park (United States, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cream Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Joshua Tree National Park (57 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.
