Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Magnolia Leaf-Footed Bug sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 20 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Magnolia Leaf-Footed Bug in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 5 and 8 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Magnolia Leaf-Footed Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Magnolia Leaf-Footed Bug 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.
