Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Slender Prairie Mantis sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 660th 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Slender Prairie Mantis in Houston on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Slender Prairie Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Slender Prairie Mantis sightings, Houston ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Monterrey (México, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Slender Prairie Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (17 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.
