Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pyralis regalis sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 460th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pyralis regalis in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pyralis regalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Pyralis regalis sightings, Seoul ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 10%) and Prague (Czechia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pyralis regalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (6 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.
