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 Houston on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 698th most-seen of the 1057 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 an Acacia Aristotelia in Houston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Acacia Aristotelia sightings, Houston ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Dallas (United States, under 5%) and Austin (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 Houston (10 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.
