With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oedaleus infernalis sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 109 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 28th most-seen of the 525 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oedaleus infernalis in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in December to May, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Oedaleus infernalis sightings, Seoul ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Daegu (South Korea, about 20%) and Sendai (Japan, about 20%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Oedaleus infernalis that you can see in Seoul (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Oriental Longheaded Locust (about 20%), Carinate Locust (about 10%) and Oxya sinuosa (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oedaleus infernalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (109 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.
