Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Luprops orientalis sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 319th 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.
May to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Luprops orientalis in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Luprops orientalis sightings, Seoul ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%), Osaka (Japan, under 5%) and Tokyo (Japan, under 5%).
Same family: Tenebrionidae
The closest relatives of the Luprops orientalis that you can see in Seoul (family Tenebrionidae, Darkling Beetles) are Heterotarsus carinula (about 10%), Opatrum subaratum (about 10%) and Cerogria janthinipennis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Luprops orientalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (9 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.
