In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Prionoxystus macmurtrei, the little carpenterworm moth, is a moth of the family Cossidae. It is found in Ontario, Quebec, Florida, west to Texas, and north to Minnesota. The wingspan is 45–75 mm. Adults are on wing from April to July.
The larvae feed on ash, maple and oak. The species is considered a pest, because the tunnels the larvae create decrease the value of hardwood lumber. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Little Carpenterworm Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Dallas (14 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.
