With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Humphrey's Grasshopper sighting in Saguaro National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 167th 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.
February and September–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Humphrey's Grasshopper in Saguaro National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–August, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Humphrey's 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.
Only Saguaro National Park, in our data
Saguaro National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Humphrey's Grasshopper sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Humphrey's Grasshopper that you can see in Saguaro National Park (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Gray Bird Grasshopper (about 20%), Pallid-Winged Grasshopper (about 20%) and White-Lined Bird Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Humphrey's Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Saguaro National Park (14 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.
