In 3 days ~10%
Acronicta increta, the raspberry bud dagger moth, raspberry bud moth or peach sword stripe night moth, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Herbert Knowles Morrison in 1875. It is distributed throughout the south of Canada and the United States down to Florida and Texas.
The status of this species is disputed. Some authors regard Acronicta increta to be a synonym of Acronicta inclara. The wingspan is 28–36 mm. Adults are on wing from May to September depending on the location. The larvae probably feed on the leaves Quercus species. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eclipsed Oak Dagger is recorded against all the insects logged in New York City (7 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.
