With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cheilomenes propinqua sighting in Harare on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 41st most-seen of the 93 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Cheilomenes propinqua in Harare on a given day, against under 5% in February–June and August–September, the lowest months. That is one of Harare's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain against almost none in August.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cheilomenes propinqua sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Same genus: Cheilomenes

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cheilomenes propinqua is recorded against all the insects logged in Harare (8 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.
