Denticollis linearis
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Denticollis linearis is a species of click beetle belonging to the family Elateridae subfamily Dendrometrinae. This beetle is present in most of Europe, in the East Palearctic realm, the Nearctic realm, and the Near East.
Denticollis linearis is quite similar to a Cantharidae species, but it can be distinguished from a soldier beetle by the two basal angles very protruding on pronotum and the deep longitudinal rows of pits. The pronotum varies from orange-red to brownish, the elytra from dark-brown to yellowish, while the head and femora are generally blackish, the tarsi and tibia are orange-yellow.
The larvae are omnivorous, feeding on many different plants and other species larvae. The adults grow up to 9–13 millimetres (0.35–0.51 in) long and can mostly be encountered from May through July in broadleaved and coniferous host-trees. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bordered Click Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Nizhny Novgorod (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.
