In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Chlorida festiva, the festive longicorn, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. It is known from southeastern United States, Central America, South America, and the West Indies. Adult males produce (6E,8Z)-6,8-pentadecadienal, an attractant pheromone. In Puerto Rico the larvae are known to be leaf mining pests of mango crops. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chlorida festiva is recorded against all the insects logged in Panama City (5 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.
