With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jago's Cross-Backed Grasshopper sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 211th most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July–August and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Jago's Cross-Backed Grasshopper in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September–October and December–May, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jago's Cross-Backed Grasshopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Sierra Nevada National Park, in our data
Sierra Nevada National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Jago's Cross-Backed Grasshopper sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Jago's Cross-Backed Grasshopper that you can see in Sierra Nevada National Park (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Egyptian Bird Grasshopper (about 30%), Common Maquis Grasshopper (about 20%) and Blue-Winged Grasshopper (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jago's Cross-Backed Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (10 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.
