Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Trichopoda lanipes sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 438th 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.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Trichopoda lanipes in Houston on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Trichopoda lanipes sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Trichopoda lanipes sightings, Houston ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Dallas (United States, under 5%) and Austin (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Trichopoda lanipes is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (22 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.
