With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tropical Paper Wasp sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 83rd most-seen of the 218 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Tropical Paper Wasp in Kaohsiung on a given day, against under 5% in March and December–January, the lowest months.
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.
5th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Tropical Paper Wasp sightings, Kaohsiung ranks 5th at about 10%. The best odds are in Raipur (India, about 20%), Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Mumbai (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tropical Paper Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaohsiung (19 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.
