Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Spot-Sided Coreid sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 66 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 206th 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.
April and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Spot-Sided Coreid in Houston on a given day, against under 5% in May–September and December–March, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spot-Sided Coreid sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Spot-Sided Coreid sightings, Houston has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Monterrey (México, under 5%) and Austin (United States, under 5%).
Same family: Coreidae
The closest relatives of the Spot-Sided Coreid that you can see in Houston (family Coreidae, Leaf-footed Bugs) are Giant Leaf-Footed Bug (about 10%), Eastern Leaf-Footed Bug (about 10%) and Leptoglossus zonatus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spot-Sided Coreid is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (66 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.
