Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Syneches simplex sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 698th 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 Syneches simplex in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Syneches simplex sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Syneches simplex sightings, Houston ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Miami (United States, under 5%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Syneches simplex that you can see in Houston (order Diptera, Flies) are Margined Calligrapher (about 10%), Common Lovebug (about 10%) and Northern Plushback (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Syneches simplex is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (10 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.
