With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ropalidia cyathiformis sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 42 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 120th most-seen of the 477 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and April
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Ropalidia cyathiformis in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in June, September and November–December, the lowest months. Those are among Bengaluru's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against 150 mm in September.
Only Bengaluru, in our data
Bengaluru is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ropalidia cyathiformis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Ropalidia
The closest relatives of the Ropalidia cyathiformis that you can see in Bengaluru (genus Ropalidia, Small Brown Paper Wasps) are Ropalidia marginata (about 10%) and Ropalidia rufoplagiata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ropalidia cyathiformis is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (42 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.
