Anacampsis lupinella
In 3 days ~10%
Anacampsis lupinella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by August Busck in 1901. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Ontario, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana and Texas. The wingspan is about 14 millimetres (0.55 in). The forewings are purplish black, with a satin lustre and with numerous evenly distributed bluish white scales, only visible under a lens. There are several varieties. The forewings in some specimens are without any markings, while in others they have a distinct whitish-yellow spot at the beginning of the costal cilia and another similar dorsal spot opposite. In yet other specimens these spots are extended downwards and upwards relatively and meet each other, forming a narrow transverse fascia. The hindwings are black, with strong purple reflections.
The larvae feed on Lupinus perennis. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lupine Leafroller Moth sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1544th most-seen of the 1689 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 a Lupine Leafroller Moth in Toronto on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Toronto, in our data
Toronto is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lupine Leafroller Moth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lupine Leafroller Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (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.
