Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lestes temporalis sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 460th 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.
September and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lestes temporalis in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Lestes temporalis sightings, Seoul ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tokyo (Japan, under 5%) and Osaka (Japan, under 5%).
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Lestes temporalis that you can see in Seoul (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are White-Tailed Skimmer (about 20%), Wandering Glider (about 10%) and Platycnemis phyllopoda (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lestes temporalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (5 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.
