It is found in North America, where it has been recorded in the south-eastern United States from Texas to Florida, and north to Maryland. It is also found on Cuba and Bermuda.
The wingspan is 11–12 millimetres (0.43–0.47 in). Adults have been recorded on wing all months of the year, but flight times depend on the location. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Seriated Aethes sighting in Everglades National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 354th most-seen of the 496 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Seriated Aethes in Everglades National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November to May, the lowest months. Those are among Everglades National Park's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in March.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Seriated Aethes sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Seriated Aethes sightings, Everglades National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Big Cypress National Preserve (United States, about 10%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Seriated Aethes that you can see in Everglades National Park (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are White Peacock (about 40%), Julia Heliconian (about 40%) and Gulf Fritillary (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Seriated Aethes is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (8 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
