Antilochus coquebertii
In 3 days ~20% in a week ~40%
Antilochus coquebertii (often misspelled as coqueberti) is an Old World species of true bug in the family Pyrrhocoridae, occurring in South and Southeast Asia. It is brightly coloured, red and black, and is a beneficial predator on other pyrrhocorids, especially the genus Dysdercus, which are crop pests. They are often confused with bugs in the family Lygaeidae, but can be distinguished by the lack of ocelli on the head, and they can be easily distinguished from Dysdercus by the lack of white stripes on the body. They are known to be cannibalistic in nature. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Antilochus coquebertii is recorded against all the insects logged in Hyderabad (11 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.
