With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fontana Grasshopper sighting in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 161 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fontana Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (22 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.
