Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cream Grasshopper sighting in Saguaro National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 176th most-seen of the 354 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 August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cream Grasshopper in Saguaro National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, 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.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Cream Grasshopper sightings, Saguaro National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Joshua Tree National Park (United States, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cream Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Saguaro National Park (11 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.
