Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Bark-Mimicking Grasshopper sighting in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 38 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and November
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Bark-Mimicking Grasshopper in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–June and December, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bark-Mimicking Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (13 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.
