With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a The African sighting in Harare on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 58th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a The African in Harare on a given day, against under 5% in May–September and November–January, the lowest months. That is one of Harare's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain against almost none in August.

Same family: Noctuidae

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