Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Alamo Moth sighting in Austin on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1392nd 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 Alamo Moth in Austin on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Alamo Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Austin, in our data
Austin is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Alamo Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Alamo Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Austin (6 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.
