With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Kidokuga piperita sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 195th 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 Kidokuga piperita 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.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Kidokuga piperita sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Seoul, in our data
Seoul is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Kidokuga piperita sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Kidokuga piperita that you can see in Seoul (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Fall Webworm Moth (about 20%), Spongy Moth (about 10%) and Swan Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kidokuga piperita is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (15 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.
