Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Shouldered Bostrichid sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 633rd 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 Red-Shouldered Bostrichid in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Red-Shouldered Bostrichid sightings, Houston ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Dallas (United States, about 10%) and Austin (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Shouldered Bostrichid is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (12 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.
