Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Woolly Wall Bee sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 261st most-seen of the 340 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.
August to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Woolly Wall Bee in Pune on a given day, against under 5% in November to July, the lowest months. Those are among Pune's wettest months, with about 260 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Woolly Wall Bee sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Woolly Wall Bee sightings, Pune ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Bengaluru (India, about 10%) and Mumbai (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Woolly Wall Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Pune (7 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.
