Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Vested Blue Clerid sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 660th 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 Vested Blue Clerid in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Houston, in our data
Houston is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Vested Blue Clerid sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the Vested Blue Clerid that you can see in Houston (order Coleoptera, Beetles) are Asian Lady Beetle (about 20%), Spotted Cucumber Beetle (about 10%) and Diaprepes Root Weevil (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Vested Blue Clerid is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (11 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.
