With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ruspolia lineosa sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 188th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ruspolia lineosa in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Ruspolia lineosa sightings, Seoul ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sendai (Japan, about 10%) and Hangzhou (China, about 10%).
Same family: Tettigoniidae
The closest relatives of the Ruspolia lineosa 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 Ruspolia lineosa is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (26 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.
