Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mozena lunata sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 538th 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 Mozena lunata in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mozena lunata sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Mozena lunata sightings, Houston ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in San Antonio (United States, about 10%), Monterrey (México, under 5%) and Austin (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Coreidae
The closest relatives of the Mozena lunata that you can see in Houston (family Coreidae, Leaf-footed Bugs) are Giant Leaf-Footed Bug (about 10%), Eastern Leaf-Footed Bug (about 10%) and Leptoglossus zonatus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mozena lunata is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (16 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.
