Aseptis adnixa
In 3 days ~10%
Paraseptis is a monotypic moth genus in the family Noctuidae erected by Tomas Mustelin and Lars G. Crabo in 2015. Its only species, Paraseptis adnixa, was first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1880. It is widely distributed along the Pacific Coast from northern Mexico to south-western British Columbia in a variety of forested habitats.
The wingspan is about 32–37.5 mm. Adults are gray brown, and have a full complement of dark lines and spots and a pale postreniform patch. There is a streaky hindwing with dark veins. The basal dash is thicker black than that of Aseptis binotata and extends fully to the antemedial line. Black wedges on the wing distal to the lower cell and in the fold are also more prominent in P. adnixa. In the Pacific Northwest, P. adnixa is typically patchy brown, often with a reddish tint, with a large pale-ochre postreniform patch and contrasting black markings. Adults are on wing from April to July.
The larvae feed on Oemleria cerasiformis and Prunus species. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aseptis adnixa sighting in San Diego on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 597th 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 Aseptis adnixa 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 Aseptis adnixa sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aseptis adnixa is recorded against all the insects logged in San Diego (6 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.
