Bagisara repanda
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Bagisara repanda, the wavy lined mallow moth, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1793. It is found from the southern United States (South Carolina to Florida, west to Texas), south through Guatemala, Panama, the Antilles, Paraguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil to Argentina.
The length of the forewings is 10–12 mm. In Louisiana, most adults are on wing from late August to November. Adults are on wing all year round in the tropics and perhaps in Florida. The larvae feed on Sida species and possibly other plants in the Malvaceae. Wikipedia →

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

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Wavy-Lined Mallow 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.
