Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Elophila turbata sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 9 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.
August and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Elophila turbata in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 200 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 Elophila turbata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Elophila turbata that you can see in Seoul (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Box Tree Moth (about 10%), Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 10%) and Rush Veneer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Elophila turbata is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (9 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.
