Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rusty-Banded Adelphia Moth sighting in Houston on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 322nd 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.

Of the 3 cities where we can rate Rusty-Banded Adelphia Moth sightings, Houston ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Austin (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rusty-Banded Adelphia Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Houston (37 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.
