The wingspan is 51–64 mm. Adults are on wing from April to May and from September to November in southern Texas. There are many flights beginning in March in Mexico. In Costa Rica, it occurs during both the dry and wet seasons.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Tipped Flasher is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (16 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.
