Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Winged Dahana Moth sighting in Orlando on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 123rd most-seen of the 294 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–June and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Winged Dahana Moth in Orlando on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and July–November, the lowest months.
Only Orlando, in our data
Orlando is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-Winged Dahana Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Winged Dahana Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Orlando (14 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.
