Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Amphipyra livida sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 460th most-seen of the 525 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amphipyra livida in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Seoul's wettest months, with about 360 mm of rain against 20 mm in January.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Amphipyra livida sightings, Seoul ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%).
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Amphipyra livida that you can see in Seoul (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Hops Angleshade (about 10%) and Macdunnoughia purissima (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amphipyra livida is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (5 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.
