Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Callicista columella sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 905th most-seen of the 1057 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Callicista columella in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Callicista columella sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Callicista columella sightings, Houston ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in San Antonio (United States, about 10%), Miami (United States, about 10%) and Monterrey (México, about 10%).
Same family: Lycaenidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Callicista columella is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (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.
