With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fire-Tailed Bumble Bee sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 105th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–June and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fire-Tailed Bumble Bee in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in July–October and December–February, the lowest months.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Fire-Tailed Bumble Bee sightings, Seoul ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Busan (South Korea, about 20%) and Sendai (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fire-Tailed Bumble Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (32 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.
