With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scolia superciliaris sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 67th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Scolia superciliaris in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in November to June, the lowest months. That is one of Shanghai's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain against 55 mm in December.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scolia superciliaris is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (25 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.
