Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Pavement Ant sighting in Busan on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 17th most-seen of the 31 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Pavement Ant in Busan on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–April, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Japanese Pavement Ant sightings, Busan ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sendai (Japan, about 20%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Japanese Pavement Ant that you can see in Busan (family Formicidae, Ants) are Japanese Carpenter Ant (about 30%), Japanese Wood Ant (about 20%) and Japanese Queenless Ant (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Pavement Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Busan (8 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.
