With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Parapolybia indica sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 140 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 84th 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 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to August
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Parapolybia indica in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in December to February, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.

Of the 3 cities where we can rate Parapolybia indica sightings, Hong Kong has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Guangzhou (China, under 5%).
Same genus: Parapolybia
The closest relatives of the Parapolybia indica that you can see in Hong Kong (genus Parapolybia, Lesser Paper Wasps) are Parapolybia nodosa (about 10%) and Parapolybia varia (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Parapolybia indica is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (140 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.
