Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Phalera flavescens sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 248th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phalera flavescens in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Phalera flavescens sightings, Seoul ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Osaka (Japan, about 10%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phalera flavescens is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (12 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.
