In 3 days ~20% in a week ~50%
Protaetia aurichalcea is a species of flower-chafer beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in Asia. The ground colour of the beetle is bronze with white markings on the elytra. Males have spiny apical elytral angles showing up as a raised ridge along the elytral suture. Like other flower-beetles, adults visit flowers but they are known to sometimes visit beehives and feed on honey and pollen collected. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Protaetia aurichalcea is recorded against all the insects logged in Pune (26 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.
