Homoeolabus analis
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Homoeolabus analis, known generally as the leaf-rolling weevil or oak leaf rolling weevil, is a species of leaf-rolling weevil in the family of beetles known as Attelabidae. The leaf roll of an Attelabidae beetle is referred to as a nidus (plural, niduses or nidi)—the Latin word for 'nest'. The process of constructing the leaf roll is termed "nidification". The main purpose of a leaf roll is to keep the eggs safe during the gestation period. It is found in North America. It is often preyed upon by the obligate egg predator and nest thief; Thief Weevil.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oak Leaf Rolling Weevil sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 522nd 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 an Oak Leaf Rolling Weevil in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Oak Leaf Rolling Weevil sightings, Houston ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in San Antonio (United States, under 5%), Austin (United States, under 5%) and Miami (United States, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oak Leaf Rolling Weevil is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (18 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.
