No species of the same family or order lives in Houston, so these are its closest relatives here: other insects.
Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tree Cattle sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 354th 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tree Cattle in Houston on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tree Cattle sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Tree Cattle sightings, Houston ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Miami (United States, about 10%), Bogota (Colombia, under 5%) and Orlando (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tree Cattle is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (32 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.
