Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aetole unipunctella sighting in Phoenix on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 197th most-seen of the 264 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Aetole unipunctella in Phoenix on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. Those are among Phoenix's driest months, with almost no rain against 35 mm in January.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Aetole unipunctella sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Phoenix, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aetole unipunctella is recorded against all the insects logged in Phoenix (7 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.
