With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White Quaker 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.
July
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a White Quaker in Harare on a given day, against under 5% in February, May, September and November–December, the lowest months. That is one of Harare's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 200 mm in December.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White Quaker sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.

Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the White Quaker that you can see in Harare (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are The African (about 10%), Dark Mottled Willow (about 10%) and Lawn Armyworm Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White Quaker 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.
