Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Kiowa Dancer sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 475th 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Kiowa Dancer in Houston on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Kiowa Dancer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Kiowa Dancer sightings, Houston ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Austin (United States, about 20%), Monterrey (México, about 10%) and Dallas (United States, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kiowa Dancer is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (37 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.
