With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Platycnemis phyllopoda sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 77 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 45th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Platycnemis phyllopoda in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in October to April, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
4th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Platycnemis phyllopoda sightings, Seoul ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Daegu (South Korea, about 30%), Daejeon (South Korea, about 20%) and Hangzhou (China, about 10%).
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Platycnemis phyllopoda that you can see in Seoul (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are White-Tailed Skimmer (about 20%), Wandering Glider (about 10%) and Scarlet Skimmer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Platycnemis phyllopoda is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (77 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.
