Percent wasp and bee observations RG figure:
All-Hymenoptera stats over the last 30 days (calculated 10/18/22):
- 114,379 observations newly added
- 82,379 observations newly became RG (a major review of observations, some which received first identifications 4+ years ago and now became RG - thanks to all who helped over time)
All-Hymenoptera stats to date:
- 3,899,534 total observations, 48% RG (53% RG for North America)
- RG hymenopteran species richness of 10,833
