Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Lined Grasshopper sighting in Joshua Tree National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 164th most-seen of the 190 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Lined Grasshopper in Joshua Tree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Lined Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Joshua Tree National Park, in our data
Joshua Tree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Red-Lined Grasshopper sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Red-Lined Grasshopper that you can see in Joshua Tree National Park (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Pallid-Winged Grasshopper (about 30%), Cream Grasshopper (about 20%) and Gray Bird Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Lined Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Joshua Tree National Park (5 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.
