Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Large Tiphia sighting in Hamburg on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 326th most-seen of the 423 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Tiphia in Hamburg on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large Tiphia sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Large Tiphia sightings, Hamburg ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Warsaw (Poland, about 10%) and Berlin (Germany, under 5%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Large Tiphia that you can see in Hamburg (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Common Carder Bumble Bee (about 30%), Common European Yellowjacket (about 20%) and European Hornet (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Tiphia is recorded against all the insects logged in Hamburg (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.
