In 3 days ~30% in a week ~60%
Coelophora saucia is a species of ladybird in the family Coccinellidae. Coelophora saucia is endemic to Asia and can be found in India, Japan and the Philippines. It has also been collected in the Indochinese peninsula. It was introduced to Taiwan in order to control aphids (Aphidoidea) which feed on the country's sugar cane crops.
It was first described as Lemnia saucia by French entomologist, Étienne Mulsant, in 1850 from the collections of Frederick William Hope and John O. Westwood in the British Museum of Natural History. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Coelophora saucia sighting in Hangzhou on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 27th most-seen of the 172 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 to September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Coelophora saucia in Hangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in November to March, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Coelophora saucia is recorded against all the insects logged in Hangzhou (20 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.
