With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Denki Mushi sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 47 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 70th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–March, May–September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Denki Mushi in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in April, October and December, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Denki Mushi sightings, Seoul has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Beijing (China, under 5%) and Tokyo (Japan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Denki Mushi is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (47 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.
