Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Desert Pyrausta sighting in San Antonio on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 478th most-seen of the 697 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 Desert Pyrausta in San Antonio on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 pm and 1 am

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Desert Pyrausta is recorded against all the insects logged in San Antonio (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.
