Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Egyptian Carpenter Ant sighting in Cairo on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 17th most-seen of the 38 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Egyptian Carpenter Ant in Cairo on a given day, against under 5% in February, May–June and September–November, the lowest months.
Only Cairo, in our data
Cairo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Egyptian Carpenter Ant sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Egyptian Carpenter Ant that you can see in Cairo (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Red Dwarf Honey Bee (about 40%), Pubescent Carpenter Bee (about 20%) and Oriental Hornet (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Egyptian Carpenter Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Cairo (11 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.
