Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Comma sighting in Daegu on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 10th most-seen of the 38 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.
March, May and September–October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Comma in Daegu on a given day, against under 5% in June and August, the lowest months. December has too few records to rate.
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.
Among the best
Of the 28 cities where we can rate Asian Comma sightings, Daegu ranks 7th at about 30%, level with the leaders once rounded. 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 Daegu (13 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.
