Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Oriental Paper Wasp sighting in Dhaka on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 23rd most-seen of the 92 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June–September and November
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Oriental Paper Wasp in Dhaka on a given day, against under 5% in March–May and December–January, the lowest months. Those are among Dhaka's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow Oriental Paper Wasp sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Yellow Oriental Paper Wasp sightings, Dhaka ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Hanoi (Vietnam, about 40%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Yellow Oriental Paper Wasp that you can see in Dhaka (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Giant Honey Bee (about 30%), Asian Honey Bee (about 20%) and Red Dwarf Honey Bee (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Oriental Paper Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Dhaka (29 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.
