Neoscythris fissirostris is a moth of the family Scythrididae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1928. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arizona, California, Kansas, New Mexico and Texas. The wingspan is 10–15 mm. The forewings are grey with a moderate white median streak from the base to about two-thirds or three-fourths, cut by a fine line along the fold, sometimes partially edged by dark fuscous suffusion, often with the plical and second discal stigmata appearing as dark fuscous spots on its lower margin and in its apex respectively. The costal edge is white except towards the base. The remainder of the wing variably strewn or suffusedly streaked with white. The hindwings are grey. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Neoscythris fissirostris sighting in Austin on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1316th 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 Neoscythris fissirostris is recorded against all the insects logged in Austin (7 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.
