Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Common Maquis Grasshopper sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 60th most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Common Maquis Grasshopper in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June, October and December–February, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Maquis 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.
Yes
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Common Maquis Grasshopper sightings, Sierra Nevada National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Cévennes National Park (France, about 20%) and Pyrénées National Park (France, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Common Maquis Grasshopper that you can see in Sierra Nevada National Park (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Egyptian Bird Grasshopper (about 30%), Blue-Winged Grasshopper (about 20%) and Iberian Band-Winged Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Maquis Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (23 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.
