With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Shirakiacris shirakii sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 49 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 54th most-seen of the 525 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Shirakiacris shirakii 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 200 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Shirakiacris shirakii is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (49 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.
