With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dolichoderus sibiricus sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 41 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 76th 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.
February and April–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dolichoderus sibiricus in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in March and October–January, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Dolichoderus sibiricus sightings, Seoul ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dolichoderus sibiricus is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (41 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.
