Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Small Mulberry Borer sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 790th 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 Small Mulberry Borer in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
4th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Small Mulberry Borer sightings, Houston ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Austin (United States, about 10%), Dallas (United States, about 10%) and Boston (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Small Mulberry Borer is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (8 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.
