Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Isodontia diodon sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1005th most-seen of the 1125 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Isodontia diodon in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Isodontia diodon sightings, Hong Kong ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Singapore (Singapore, under 5%).
Same family: Sphecidae
The closest relatives of the Isodontia diodon that you can see in Hong Kong (family Sphecidae, Thread-waisted Wasps) are Sphex sericeus (about 10%), Sceliphron deforme (about 10%) and Japanese Blue Mud-Dauber Wasp (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Isodontia diodon is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (5 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.
