It is the 230th most-seen of the 413 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.
September to November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Steniodes declivalis in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in December to August, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Steniodes declivalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (13 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.
