With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Atrocalopteryx atrata sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 100th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Atrocalopteryx atrata in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in October to May, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
7th of 7

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Atrocalopteryx atrata is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (40 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.
