With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bingham's Hornet sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 223rd most-seen of the 272 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, June and August–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bingham's Hornet in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, July and November–February, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Bingham's Hornet sightings, Nanjing ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hangzhou (China, about 10%).
Same genus: Vespa
The closest relatives of the Bingham's Hornet that you can see in Nanjing (genus Vespa, Hornets) are Yellow-Legged Hornet (about 20%), Black-Bellied Hornet (about 20%) and European Hornet (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bingham's Hornet is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (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.
