Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rothney's Paper Wasp sighting in Zhengzhou on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Rothney's Paper Wasp in Zhengzhou on a given day, against under 5% in January, March, June, August and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rothney's Paper Wasp sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 17 cities where we can rate Rothney's Paper Wasp sightings, Zhengzhou has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Taichung (Taiwan, about 20%) and Wuhan (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rothney's Paper Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Zhengzhou (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.
