Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dot-Lined White sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 510th 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.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dot-Lined White in Houston on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dot-Lined White sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Dot-Lined White sightings, Houston ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Orlando (United States, under 5%), Baltimore (United States, under 5%) and Miami (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dot-Lined White is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (20 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.
