Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rhynchium brunneum sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 520th most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rhynchium brunneum in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 260 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rhynchium brunneum sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Rhynchium brunneum sightings, Taipei ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%), Hong Kong (China, about 10%) and Bengaluru (India, under 5%).
Same family: Eumenidae
The closest relatives of the Rhynchium brunneum that you can see in Taipei (family Eumenidae) are Delta pyriforme (about 10%), Giant Brown Paper Wasp (about 10%) and Rothney's Paper Wasp (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rhynchium brunneum is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (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.
