Alypia wittfeldii, or Wittfeld's forester, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Henry Edwards in 1883. It is found in the United States in almost all of Florida (except the western panhandle of the state), coastal Georgia, and South Carolina.
The length of the forewings is 13–14 mm. Adults are on wing from January to April in southern Florida and mostly in April along the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Wittfeld's Forester sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 553rd most-seen of the 826 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 a Wittfeld's Forester in Miami on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Miami, in our data
Miami is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Wittfeld's Forester sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Wittfeld's Forester is recorded against all the insects logged in Miami (9 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.
