With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Raymond's Grasshopper sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 282nd 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, May and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Raymond's Grasshopper in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–April, June–August, October and December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Raymond'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.
Yes
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Raymond's Grasshopper sightings, Sierra Nevada National Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Mercantour National Park (France, about 10%) and Cévennes National Park (France, under 5%).
Same genus: Omocestus
The closest relatives of the Raymond's Grasshopper that you can see in Sierra Nevada National Park (genus Omocestus) are Omocestus panteli (about 10%) and Omocestus bolivari (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Raymond's Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (7 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.
