With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Bug sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 105th 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.
March and June–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Bug in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in April–May and September–February, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Painted Bug sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Painted Bug sightings, Seoul has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Beijing (China, about 10%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
Same family: Pentatomidae
The closest relatives of the Painted Bug that you can see in Seoul (family Pentatomidae, Stink Bugs) are Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (about 10%), Oriental Stink 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 Painted Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (30 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.
