Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Tropical Paper Wasp sighting in Raipur on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 25th most-seen of the 39 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Tropical Paper Wasp in Raipur on a given day, against under 5% in February–July, September–October and December, the lowest months. That is one of Raipur's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 360 mm in July.
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.
Yes
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Tropical Paper Wasp sightings, Raipur has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Mumbai (India, about 10%).
Same order: Hymenoptera

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tropical Paper Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Raipur (10 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.
