Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Arabian Paper Wasp sighting in Dubai on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 4th most-seen of the 54 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Arabian Paper Wasp in Dubai on a given day, against under 5% in January, the lowest month.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Arabian Paper Wasp sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Arabian Paper Wasp sightings, Dubai ranks 4th at about 20%. The best odds are in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates, about 40%), Agra (India, about 30%) and Tashkent (Uzbekistan, about 20%).
Same family: Eumenidae
The closest relatives of the Arabian Paper Wasp that you can see in Dubai (family Eumenidae) are Okinawa Mud Wasp (about 10%) and Delta dimidiatipenne (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Arabian Paper Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Dubai (40 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.
