Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Broad-Lined Sallow sighting in Austin on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1503rd 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 a Broad-Lined Sallow in Austin on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Austin, in our data
Austin is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Broad-Lined Sallow sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Broad-Lined Sallow is recorded against all the insects logged in Austin (5 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.
