Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-Bordered Field Cockroach sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 70 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 197th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-Bordered Field Cockroach in Houston on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pale-Bordered Field Cockroach sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Pale-Bordered Field Cockroach sightings, Houston ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Austin (United States, about 10%) and Dallas (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-Bordered Field Cockroach is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (70 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.
