With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xystrocera erosa sighting in Johannesburg on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 58th most-seen of the 213 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.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Xystrocera erosa in Johannesburg on a given day, against under 5% in January to September, the lowest months. That is one of Johannesburg's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain against almost none in July.

Same family: Cerambycidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xystrocera erosa is recorded against all the insects logged in Johannesburg (26 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.
