Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Oriental Paper Wasp sighting in Hanoi on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 36 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Oriental Paper Wasp in Hanoi on a given day, against under 5% in January to March, the lowest months. That is one of Hanoi's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain against 20 mm in February.
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.
Yes
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Yellow Oriental Paper Wasp sightings, Hanoi has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 30%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Oriental Paper Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Hanoi (32 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.
