With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Provespa anomala sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 80 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 282nd most-seen of the 1045 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.
March–July and November–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Provespa anomala in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in February and August–October, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Provespa anomala sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Provespa anomala sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Vespidae
The closest relatives of the Provespa anomala that you can see in Singapore (family Vespidae, Hornets, Paper Wasps, Potter Wasps, and Allies) are Ropalidia sumatrae (about 20%), Ropalidia stigma (about 10%) and Lesser Banded Hornet (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Provespa anomala is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (80 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.
