Acrida cinerea
In 3 days ~50% in a week ~80%
Acrida cinerea, sometimes called the Oriental longheaded grasshopper/locust or the Chinese grasshopper though this name is also applied to Oxya chinensis, is a member of the Acrididae family. Like other members of the genus Acrida, Acrida cinerea lacks stridulatory organs on its legs and so they do not make noise while moving.
Acrida cinerea, like other Acrida species, is a pest of many agricultural crops. It is found throughout China, Korea, Japan, South East Asia and Indonesia. Historically it has been used as a human food source, and it has been investigated for its nutritional value for the poultry industry. Wikipedia →

No species of the same family or order lives in Busan, so these are its closest relatives here: other insects.
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Longheaded Locust sighting in Busan on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 13th 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 and July–August
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Longheaded Locust in Busan on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Busan's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in January.
6th of 15
Of the 15 cities where we can rate Oriental Longheaded Locust sightings, Busan ranks 6th at about 20%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 40%), Daejeon (South Korea, about 30%) and Daegu (South Korea, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oriental Longheaded Locust is recorded against all the insects logged in Busan (9 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.
