Like Campi Flegrei: https://www.thelocal.it/20250718/naples-and-campi-flegrei-shaken-by-4-0-magnitude-quake Which has had earthquake swarms, though admittedly its somewhat of a normality in the area

Idaho Volcano’s / Yellow Stone https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/stanley-earthquake-swarm-brings-hundreds-quakes-not-over/277-7aa1da74-a7bd-4381-b6cb-71a16cd04def

Also Japan’s recent activity that’s led to fears of larger eruptions: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/spectacular-aerials-show-shinmoedake-erupting-020000376.html

Though most don’t seem to definitively suggest a “Super Volcano Eruption” what’s the likelihood of an eruption of that mythical scale occurring in our lifetimes ?

    Actually earthquakes are often precursors to volcanic activity since they can indicate magma movement, but the monitoring systems for supervolcanoes like Yellowstone are incredibily sophisticated now - they can detect ground deformation of less than a centimeter using GPS and satelite data, which gives us years or even decades of warning before a potential catastophic eruption.
