With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Siren sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 81st 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.
May and July–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Siren in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in February–April and June, the lowest months.
6th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Siren sightings, Seoul ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Hefei (China, about 20%), Nanjing (China, about 20%) and Nagoya (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Siren is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (40 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.
