With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ducetia japonica sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 100th most-seen of the 525 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ducetia japonica in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in December to June, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ducetia japonica sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Ducetia japonica sightings, Seoul ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 20%) and Sendai (Japan, about 10%).
Same family: Tettigoniidae
The closest relatives of the Ducetia japonica that you can see in Seoul (family Tettigoniidae, Katydids) are Gampsocleis ussuriensis (about 10%), Sickle-Bearing Bush-Cricket (about 10%) and Sinochlora longifissa (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ducetia japonica is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (36 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.
