Eutorna symmorpha is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1889. It is endemic to New Zealand. The wingspan is 12–14 mm. The forewings are yellow ochreous, sometimes obscurely streaked with whitish ochreous between the veins, the veins more reddish ochreous or brownish ochreous. There is a straight, slender, reddish-brown streak from the middle of the base to the disc at two-fifths, terminating in a small blackish spot, cloudy beneath, above sharply defined and sometimes margined with an ochreous-whitish streak. There is a more or less distinct reddish-brown streak from the disc before the middle to the costa before the apex, terminating in some black scales and there are two black dots transversely placed in the disc at two-thirds, as well as some black scales on the hindmargin. The hindwings are light grey. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eutorna symmorpha sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 275th most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–March and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eutorna symmorpha in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in April–September and December, the lowest months.
Only Auckland, in our data
Auckland is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eutorna symmorpha sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eutorna symmorpha is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (20 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.
