With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Long-Tail Spangle Swallowtail sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 129th 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.
April–June and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Long-Tail Spangle Swallowtail in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–March, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Long-Tail Spangle Swallowtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (23 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.
