Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Katydid sighting in Kosciuszko National Park on a given day, based on 134 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 105 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and April
In those months about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Katydid in Kosciuszko National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to November, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mountain Katydid 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 3 parks where we can rate Mountain Katydid sightings, Kosciuszko National Park has the highest daily chance: about 50%. Next come Wilsons Promontory National Park (Australia, about 10%) and Springbrook National Park (Australia, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mountain Katydid is recorded against all the insects logged in Kosciuszko National Park (134 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.
