With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Kaempfer Cicada sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 98th 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.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Kaempfer Cicada in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. That is one of Seoul's wettest months, with about 360 mm of rain against 20 mm in January.
15th of 17
Of the 17 cities where we can rate Kaempfer Cicada sightings, Seoul ranks 15th at about 10%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 20%), Jinan (China, about 20%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 20%).
Same family: Cicadidae
The closest relatives of the Kaempfer Cicada that you can see in Seoul (family Cicadidae, Typical Cicadas) are Robust Cicada (about 30%), Eastern Horse Cicada (about 20%) and Large Brown Cicada (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kaempfer Cicada is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (37 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.
