Asiablatta kyotensis, formerly in the genus Parcoblatta, is an endemic roach from Far Eastern Asia. On June 24, 1962, an unfamiliar male roach was captured in Kyoto City. This cockroach was an entirely unknown insect from Japan, and was later described as Parcoblatta kyotensis by Asahina in 1976. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Asiablatta kyotensis sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 394th 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asiablatta kyotensis in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 240 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 Asiablatta kyotensis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asiablatta kyotensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (6 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.
