With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Headed Carpenter sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 41 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
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Headed Carpenter in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in February, the lowest month. That is one of Bengaluru's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 150 mm in September.
4th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Yellow-Headed Carpenter sightings, Bengaluru ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Thiruvananthapuram (India, about 20%), Kozhikode (India, about 10%) and Kochi (India, about 10%).
Same genus: Xylocopa
The closest relatives of the Yellow-Headed Carpenter that you can see in Bengaluru (genus Xylocopa, Large Carpenter Bees) are Slender-Scaped Carpenter Bee (about 10%) and Golden-Winged Bamboo-Carpenter (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Headed Carpenter is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (41 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.
