Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Beauty sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 226th 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spotted Beauty is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (14 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.
