Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Coastal Red Bruchid sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 580th 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Coastal Red Bruchid in Houston on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months.
Only Houston, in our data
Houston is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Coastal Red Bruchid sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Coastal Red Bruchid that you can see in Houston (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Spotted Cucumber Beetle (about 10%) and Swamp Milkweed Leaf Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Coastal Red Bruchid is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (15 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.
