With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tipped Orange Ichneumon Wasp sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 172 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 71st most-seen of the 742 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tipped Orange Ichneumon Wasp in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-Tipped Orange Ichneumon 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.
Among the best
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Black-Tipped Orange Ichneumon Wasp sightings, Sydney ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Algiers (Algeria, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Tipped Orange Ichneumon Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (172 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.
