Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Garden Fleahopper sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 847th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Garden Fleahopper in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Garden Fleahopper sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Garden Fleahopper sightings, Houston ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Washington (United States, under 5%), Philadelphia (United States, under 5%) and Miami (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Miridae
The closest relatives of the Garden Fleahopper that you can see in Houston (family Miridae, Plant Bugs) are Oak Catkin Mirid (about 10%) and Broken-Backed Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Garden Fleahopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (7 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.
