Vespula flaviceps is a species of social wasp in the genus Vespula. It found in Eastern Asia and Japan. Studies have suggested that the queens of this species may mate with more males and use sperm more evenly. The reason for this is not yet well understood.

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Common Asian Yellowjacket sighting in Guiyang on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 15th most-seen of the 36 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.
December
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Common Asian Yellowjacket in Guiyang on a given day, against under 5% in February, June–August and October, the lowest months. That is one of Guiyang's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 230 mm in June.
Yes
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Common Asian Yellowjacket sightings, Guiyang has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Hefei (China, about 20%) and Kunming (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Asian Yellowjacket is recorded against all the insects logged in Guiyang (7 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.
