With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hemipepsis sogdiana sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 127th most-seen of the 215 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.
August and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hemipepsis sogdiana in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. Those are among Shanghai's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 55 mm in December.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Hemipepsis sogdiana sightings, Shanghai ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 10%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Hemipepsis sogdiana that you can see in Shanghai (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Asian Honey Bee (about 30%), Yellow-Legged Hornet (about 10%) and Bronze-Winged Bamboo-Carpenter (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hemipepsis sogdiana is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (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.
