Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tropical Paper Wasp sighting in Hyderabad on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 272nd most-seen of the 318 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, June and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tropical Paper Wasp in Hyderabad on a given day, against under 5% in May, July and October–March, the lowest months. Those are among Hyderabad's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain a month against almost none in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tropical Paper Wasp sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Tropical Paper Wasp sightings, Hyderabad ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Raipur (India, about 20%), Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Mumbai (India, about 10%).
Same family: Eumenidae
The closest relatives of the Tropical Paper Wasp that you can see in Hyderabad (family Eumenidae) are Delta pyriforme (about 10%), Delta conoideum (about 10%) and Phimenes flavopictus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tropical Paper Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Hyderabad (6 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.
