Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Vespa sexmaculata sighting in Warsaw on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 460th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Vespa sexmaculata in Warsaw on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Warsaw's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain against 40 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Vespa sexmaculata sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Vespa sexmaculata sightings, Warsaw ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kyiv (Ukraine, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Vespa sexmaculata is recorded against all the insects logged in Warsaw (6 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.
