With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xya japonica sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 170th 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.
March to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xya japonica in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in August to February, the lowest months.

Same order: Orthoptera
The closest relatives of the Xya japonica that you can see in Seoul (order Orthoptera, Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Katydids) are Oriental Longheaded Locust (about 20%), Gampsocleis ussuriensis (about 10%) and Oedaleus infernalis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xya japonica is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (19 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.
