Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Angulose Prominent sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 698th most-seen of the 1057 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 an Angulose Prominent in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Angulose Prominent sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Angulose Prominent sightings, Houston ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Dallas (United States, under 5%), Austin (United States, under 5%) and Washington (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Angulose Prominent is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (10 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.
