Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rogenhofer's Sallow sighting in Austin on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 643rd 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.
September and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rogenhofer's Sallow in Austin on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months.
Between 11 pm and 2 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rogenhofer's Sallow sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Austin, in our data
Austin is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rogenhofer's Sallow sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Rogenhofer's Sallow that you can see in Austin (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Wedgling Moth (about 20%), Harp-Winged Tripudia Moth (about 20%) and Armyworm Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rogenhofer's Sallow is recorded against all the insects logged in Austin (34 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.
