Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Goldenrod Flower Moth 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 Goldenrod Flower Moth in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Houston, in our data
Houston is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Goldenrod Flower Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Goldenrod Flower Moth 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.
