Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Deduced Graphic sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 978th 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 Deduced Graphic in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Deduced Graphic sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Deduced Graphic sightings, Houston ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Mesa (United States, about 10%), Torreón (México, about 10%) and Phoenix (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Deduced Graphic that you can see in Houston (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Salt Marsh Moth (about 20%), Fall Webworm Moth (about 20%) and Green Cloverworm Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Deduced Graphic is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (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.
