Sagra femorata
In 3 days ~50% in a week ~80%
Sagra femorata is a species of beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae. Sagra femorata can reach a length of 20 mm (0.79 in). These beetles have a striking sexual dimorphism. The males are much larger and have very long and strong hind legs resembling that of frogs (hence the common name). This remarkable morphology helps the males to dominate the opponents during the breeding. The basic color is quite variable, but usually it is metallic blue-green.
This species can be found in the forests of Cambodia, China, India, Java, Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Surakarta (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.
