Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Grote's Buff-Tip sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 248th 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.
June to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grote's Buff-Tip in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 250 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 Grote's Buff-Tip sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grote's Buff-Tip is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (11 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.
