Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ropalidia ornaticeps sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 113th most-seen of the 245 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.
March–April, August and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ropalidia ornaticeps in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, May–July and September–November, the lowest months.
Only Bangkok, in our data
Bangkok is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ropalidia ornaticeps sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ropalidia ornaticeps is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (15 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.
