Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Emerald Cuckoo Wasp 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.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Emerald Cuckoo Wasp 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.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Emerald Cuckoo Wasp sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Emerald Cuckoo Wasp sightings, Seoul has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Tokyo (Japan, under 5%) and Singapore (Singapore, under 5%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Emerald Cuckoo Wasp that you can see in Seoul (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Japanese Wood Ant (about 20%), Japanese Carpenter Ant (about 20%) and Appendiculate Carpenter Bee (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Emerald Cuckoo Wasp 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.
