Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Legged Spider Wasp sighting in Warsaw on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 501st most-seen of the 580 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.

Only Warsaw, in our data
Warsaw is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Red-Legged Spider Wasp sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Legged Spider Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Warsaw (5 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.
