With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Stink Bug sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 87 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 32nd most-seen of the 525 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Stink Bug in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in April and December–February, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Oriental Stink Bug sightings, Seoul ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%).
Same family: Pentatomidae
The closest relatives of the Oriental Stink Bug that you can see in Seoul (family Pentatomidae, Stink Bugs) are Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (about 10%), Painted Bug (about 10%) and Sloe Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oriental Stink Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (87 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.
