In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Oriens gola, the common dartlet, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is found from Sri Lanka and India (Kumaon, Sikkim, Assam) to Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo and Sumatra. The wingspan is about 22–27 mm. The ground colour of the wings is dark brown. There are yellowish-orange or amber-colored discal bands on both the forewings and hindwings, defined by black shading on the underside. The veins within the bands are not darkened. The verso resemmbles the recto but the yellow is more extensive.
The larvae feed on Imperata and Paspalum species, as well as Ottochloa nodosa. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Dartlet is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (6 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.
