Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Boreal Bluet sighting in Calgary on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 233rd most-seen of the 256 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Boreal Bluet in Calgary on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Boreal Bluet sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Calgary, in our data
Calgary is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Boreal Bluet sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Boreal Bluet is recorded against all the insects logged in Calgary (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.
