Garrha phoenopis is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1916. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland and the Northern Territory. The wingspan is 14–18 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, mixed with dull reddish and the costal edge narrowly pink. There are no defined markings, but a redder, apical area preceded by an ill-defined, paler fascia from the mid-costa to the tornus. The hindwings are ochreous-fuscous, but fuscous towards apex.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Garrha phoenopis sighting in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 554th most-seen of the 789 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Garrha phoenopis in Blue Mountains National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–September and December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Garrha phoenopis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Blue Mountains National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Garrha phoenopis is recorded against all the insects logged in Blue Mountains National Park (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
