With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dorylus nigricans sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 82nd most-seen of the 123 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.

Only Nairobi, in our data
Nairobi is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dorylus nigricans sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Dorylus nigricans that you can see in Nairobi (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Double-Banded Carpenter Bee (about 10%), Big Red Large Carpenter Bee (about 10%) and Echthromorpha agrestoria (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dorylus nigricans is recorded against all the insects logged in Nairobi (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.
