Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Penang Masked Bee sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 960th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Penang Masked Bee in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Penang Masked Bee sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Penang Masked Bee that you can see in Singapore (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Asian Honey Bee (about 30%), Asian Weaver Ant (about 20%) and Broad-Handed Carpenter Bee (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Penang Masked Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (5 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.
