With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tropical Paper Wasp sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 163rd 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tropical Paper Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (28 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.
