Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cantharis soeulensis sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 319th 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cantharis soeulensis in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Only Seoul, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cantharis soeulensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (8 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.
