Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Detritus Moth sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 180 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 30th most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Detritus Moth in Auckland on a given day, against about 10% in November to April, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Detritus Moth sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Same family: Tineidae
The closest relatives of the Detritus Moth that you can see in Auckland (family Tineidae, Fungus Moths, Clothes Moths, & Allies) are Parochmastis hilderi (about 20%), Erechthias capnitis (about 10%) and Wool Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Detritus Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (180 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.
