With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Meganola brunellus sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 52nd most-seen of the 71 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.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Meganola brunellus in Kathmandu on a given day, against under 5% in December to July, the lowest months. That is one of Kathmandu's driest months, with almost no rain against 280 mm in July.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Meganola brunellus sightings, Kathmandu has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Hong Kong (China, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Meganola brunellus is recorded against all the insects logged in Kathmandu (7 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.
