Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Saddleback Scoliid Wasp sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 21st most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Saddleback Scoliid Wasp in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in July, the lowest month. Those are among Quito's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain a month against 180 mm in April.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Saddleback Scoliid Wasp sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Of the 7 cities where we can rate Saddleback Scoliid Wasp sightings, Quito has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come León (México, about 20%) and Puebla (México, about 10%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Saddleback Scoliid Wasp that you can see in Quito (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Bombus robustus (about 40%), Green-Tailed Carpenter (about 30%) and Andean Black Longhorn (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Saddleback Scoliid Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (34 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.
