Aristotelia calens
In 3 days ~10%
Aristotelia calens is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California. The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are brown, at one-fourth an oblique white fascia is suffusedly irrorated (sprinkled) with grey, preceded by small black spots on the costa and fold, a black streak on the fold connecting this with a very irregular angulated white median fascia irrorated grey, widest on the costa, its angle edged anteriorly by a black dot (the first discal stigma). The costa is suffused dark grey between this and a white dark-centred spot at three-fourths, where a narrow irregular inwards-oblique fascia of white and grey irroration runs to the tornus. The hindwings are grey. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aristotelia calens sighting in San Diego on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 632nd most-seen of the 693 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aristotelia calens in San Diego on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only San Diego, in our data
San Diego is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Aristotelia calens sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aristotelia calens is recorded against all the insects logged in San Diego (5 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.
