Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth sighting in Lusaka on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 14th most-seen of the 72 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth in Lusaka on a given day, against under 5% in March and May–November, the lowest months. That is one of Lusaka's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against almost none in August.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Lusaka (23 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.
