With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stathmopoda auriferella sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 129th 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.
June to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stathmopoda auriferella in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in October to May, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Stathmopoda auriferella sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Stathmopoda auriferella sightings, Seoul ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, about 10%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Stathmopoda auriferella that you can see in Seoul (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Asian Comma (about 20%), Pale Grass Blue (about 20%) and Small White (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stathmopoda auriferella is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (29 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.
