The body coloration is quite variable through the wide range of this species. Usually the background is greyish or dark brown with orange-brown elytral spots and three white or yellow longitudinal bands (hence the Latin name trilineatus).

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fig Tree Borer 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 Fig Tree Borer 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 Fig Tree Borer sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Fig Tree Borer sightings, Houston ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in San Pedro Sula (Honduras, about 20%) and Panama City (Panama, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fig Tree Borer 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.
