Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Ant-Queen Kidnapper sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 867th most-seen of the 1689 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 an Eastern Ant-Queen Kidnapper in Toronto on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eastern Ant-Queen Kidnapper sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Toronto, in our data
Toronto is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eastern Ant-Queen Kidnapper sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crabronidae
The closest relatives of the Eastern Ant-Queen Kidnapper that you can see in Toronto (family Crabronidae, Square-headed Wasps, Sand Wasps, and Allies) are Hump-Backed Beewolf (about 10%), Four-Banded Stink Bug Wasp (about 10%) and Eastern Cicada-Killer Wasp (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eastern Ant-Queen Kidnapper is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (15 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.
