With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Short-Wing Katydid sighting in Saguaro National Park on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 88th most-seen of the 354 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Common Short-Wing Katydid in Saguaro National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November to July, the lowest months. That is one of Saguaro National Park's wettest months, with about 50 mm of rain against almost none in May.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Short-Wing Katydid sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Saguaro National Park, in our data
Saguaro National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Common Short-Wing Katydid sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Short-Wing Katydid is recorded against all the insects logged in Saguaro National Park (28 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.
