In 3 days ~10%
Athrips mouffetella, the ten-spotted honeysuckle moth, is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found from central and northern Europe to the Ural Mountains, Siberia and the Russian Far East. It has also been recorded from North America.
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are light ashy brown, irrorated with paler, faintly rosy-tinged hues. There are some minute black dots near the base and on termen. The stigmata and a dot obliquely beneath and before second discal are black, the first discal is beyond the plical. The hindwings are grey.
The larva is blackish-grey; dorsal line whitish on incisions between 2 and 4; spiracular indistinct, whitish, clearer anteriorly; head and plate of 2 black. The moths are on wing from June to August depending on the location.
The larvae feed on Lonicera species (including Lonicera periclymenum, Lonicera xylosteum and Lonicera caprifolium), but also Symphoricarpos albus. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ten-Spotted Honeysuckle Moth sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1410th 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 Ten-Spotted Honeysuckle 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 Ten-Spotted Honeysuckle 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 Ten-Spotted Honeysuckle 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.
