Anacampsis paltodoriella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by August Busck in 1903. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are drab colored, lightest nearly white along the costa, gradually darker toward the dorsal edge. In the middle of the cell is a small indistinct blackish dot, a similar one nearer the base on the fold and a third at the end of the cell. At the apical fourth is an oblique narrow white streak directed outward and nearly meeting a similar but curved dorsal streak directed upward and outward. Both streaks are slightly edged with black anteriorly. The area between the dorsal streak and the edge of the wing is white, mottled finely with black, each scale being tipped with black. The hindwings are dark purplish fuscous. Wikipedia →

Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Anacampsis paltodoriella sighting in Austin on a given day, based on 9 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

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anacampsis paltodoriella is recorded against all the insects logged in Austin (9 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.
