With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Clear-Winged Grasshopper sighting in Yosemite National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 148th most-seen of the 227 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Clear-Winged 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.
11th of 11
Of the 11 parks where we can rate Clear-Winged Grasshopper sightings, Yosemite National Park ranks 11th at about 10%. The best odds are in Kluane National Park (Canada, about 20%), Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (Canada, about 10%) and Elk Island National Park (Canada, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Clear-Winged Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Yosemite National Park (9 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.
