Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Eyed Damselfly sighting in Biebrza National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 79th most-seen of the 97 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Eyed Damselfly in Biebrza National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–April and June–October, the lowest months. December has too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Eyed Damselfly sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Red-Eyed Damselfly sightings, Biebrza National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, under 5%) and Wadden Sea National Park (Germany, under 5%).
Same family: Coenagrionidae
The closest relatives of the Red-Eyed Damselfly that you can see in Biebrza National Park (family Coenagrionidae, Narrow-winged Damselflies) are Azure Damselfly (about 30%) and Variable Bluet (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Eyed Damselfly is recorded against all the insects logged in Biebrza National Park (6 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
