Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ornate Planthopper sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 734th 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 Ornate Planthopper in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ornate Planthopper 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 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Ornate Planthopper sightings, Houston ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Dallas (United States, about 10%), Baltimore (United States, under 5%) and Austin (United States, under 5%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Ornate Planthopper that you can see in Houston (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Giant Leaf-Footed Bug (about 10%), North American Wheel Bug (about 10%) and Milkweed Assassin Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ornate Planthopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (9 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.
