Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nephotettix cincticeps sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 353rd 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nephotettix cincticeps in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Seoul's wettest months, with about 260 mm of rain against 20 mm in January.
Only Seoul, in our data
Seoul is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Nephotettix cincticeps sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nephotettix cincticeps is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (10 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.
