Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Peach Moth sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 291st 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.
June and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Peach Moth in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–May, the lowest months. Those are among Seoul's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in January.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Yellow Peach Moth sightings, Seoul ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Bengaluru (India, under 5%).
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Yellow Peach Moth that you can see in Seoul (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Box Tree Moth (about 10%), Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 10%) and Rush Veneer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Peach Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Seoul (9 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.
