Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rock Grasshopper sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 180th most-seen of the 344 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rock Grasshopper in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months. Those are among Table Mountain National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in June.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rock 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 Table Mountain National Park, in our data
Table Mountain National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rock Grasshopper sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rock Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Table Mountain 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.
