Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Polistes nipponensis sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 416th most-seen of the 1013 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Polistes nipponensis in Tokyo on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Tokyo, in our data
Tokyo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Polistes nipponensis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Polistes
The closest relatives of the Polistes nipponensis that you can see in Tokyo (genus Polistes, Umbrella Paper Wasps) are Dark-Waisted 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 Polistes nipponensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (22 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.
