Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Acontia dama sighting in Austin on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1254th most-seen of the 1624 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 an Acontia dama in Austin on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Acontia dama sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.

Same genus: Acontia

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acontia dama is recorded against all the insects logged in Austin (8 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.
