With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Arabian Paper Wasp sighting in Tehran on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 21st most-seen of the 34 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Arabian Paper Wasp in Tehran on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. That is one of Tehran's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 45 mm in November.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Arabian Paper 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.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Arabian Paper Wasp sightings, Tehran ranks 8th at about 10%. The best odds are in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates, about 40%), Agra (India, about 30%) and Tashkent (Uzbekistan, about 20%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Arabian Paper Wasp that you can see in Tehran (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Oriental Hornet (about 30%), German Yellowjacket (about 20%) and Rose Sawfly (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Arabian Paper Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Tehran (9 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.
