With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Biston panterinaria sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 129th 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.
May–July and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Biston panterinaria in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in August–October and December–April, 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 Biston panterinaria sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Biston panterinaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (25 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.
