With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Brown Paper Wasp sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 106 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 110th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Brown Paper Wasp in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in February, the lowest month. That is one of Hong Kong's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 280 mm in June.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Giant Brown Paper Wasp sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Giant Brown Paper Wasp sightings, Hong Kong ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 20%) and Fuzhou (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Giant Brown Paper Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (106 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.
