Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Shirakiacris shirakii sighting in Daegu on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 15th 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 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Shirakiacris shirakii in Daegu on a given day, against under 5% in March, May and July, the lowest months. That is one of Daegu's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain against 25 mm in December. December has too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Shirakiacris shirakii is recorded against all the insects logged in Daegu (10 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.
