Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Diostrombus politus sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 268th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Diostrombus politus in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.

Same order: Hemiptera

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Diostrombus politus is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (10 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.
