Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pheropsophus jessoensis sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 11 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.
May–June and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pheropsophus jessoensis in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in July–October and December–April, the lowest months.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Pheropsophus jessoensis sightings, Seoul ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Hangzhou (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pheropsophus jessoensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (11 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.
