With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Polistes cavapyta sighting in Cordoba on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 37th most-seen of the 111 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and March
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Polistes cavapyta in Cordoba on a given day, against under 5% in April, June–October and December–January, the lowest months. Those are among Cordoba's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in August.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Polistes cavapyta sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Cordoba, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Polistes cavapyta is recorded against all the insects logged in Cordoba (12 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.
