Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Microbembex monodonta sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 597th 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 a Microbembex monodonta in Toronto on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Microbembex monodonta sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Microbembex monodonta sightings, Toronto ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Miami (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Crabronidae
The closest relatives of the Microbembex monodonta 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 Microbembex monodonta is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (24 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.
