With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hypsalonia tioga sighting in Yosemite National Park on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 134th most-seen of the 227 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hypsalonia tioga in Yosemite National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August and November–June, the lowest months. Those are among Yosemite National Park's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 220 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hypsalonia tioga sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Yosemite National Park, in our data
Yosemite National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hypsalonia tioga sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Hypsalonia tioga that you can see in Yosemite National Park (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Crackling Forest Grasshopper (about 20%), Nevada Red-Winged Grasshopper (about 10%) and Fontana Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hypsalonia tioga is recorded against all the insects logged in Yosemite 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.
