It is the 227th most-seen of the 428 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and October–April

Only Kochi, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Progonia kurosawai is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (13 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.
