Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Comma sighting in Busan on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 8th most-seen of the 31 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.
November
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Comma in Busan on a given day, against under 5% in January to May, the lowest months. That is one of Busan's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 290 mm in July.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Comma sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
11th of 28
Of the 28 cities where we can rate Asian Comma sightings, Busan ranks 11th at about 20%. The best odds are in Changsha (China, about 30%), Gwangju (South Korea, about 30%) and Changzhou (China, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Comma is recorded against all the insects logged in Busan (15 verified sightings), 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.
