Aristotelia corallina
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Aristotelia corallina is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham, in 1909. It is found in Mexico (Guerrero) and the United States, where it has been recorded from Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas, as well as in Puerto Rico.
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are blackish, the dorsum rich rosy reddish, this colour diffused upward along the termen and over the terminal cilia through which runs a somewhat obscurely reduplicated dark shade-line. The hindwings are dark grey. Adults are on wing year round in Mexico.
The larvae feed on Acacia cornigera, Acacia farnesiana and Chamaecrista nictitans. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Acacia Aristotelia sighting in Dallas on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 667th most-seen of the 1412 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.
August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acacia Aristotelia in Dallas on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–July, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Acacia Aristotelia sightings, Dallas has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Austin (United States, under 5%) and Houston (United States, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acacia Aristotelia is recorded against all the insects logged in Dallas (20 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.
