With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 108th most-seen of the 297 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May, July, September and November–December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and October, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Short-Winged Rice 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.
6th of 10
Of the 10 parks where we can rate Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper sightings, Kinabalu Park ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Taroko National Park (Taiwan, about 50%), Danum Valley Conservation Area (Malaysia, about 20%) and Cuc Phuong National Park (Vietnam, about 20%). All parks ranked.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper that you can see in Kinabalu Park (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Javanese Grasshopper (about 10%), Traulia bimaculata (about 10%) and Traulacris grandis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (10 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.
