Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aphaenogaster japonica sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 268th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, July–August and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Aphaenogaster japonica in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April–June and September–October, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
Only Seoul, in our data
Seoul is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Aphaenogaster japonica sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Aphaenogaster japonica that you can see in Seoul (family Formicidae, Ants) are Japanese Wood Ant (about 20%), Japanese Carpenter Ant (about 20%) and Japanese Pavement Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aphaenogaster japonica is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (10 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.
