Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Taiga Bluet sighting in Calgary on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 167th 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Taiga Bluet in Calgary on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Calgary's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Taiga Bluet sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Taiga Bluet sightings, Calgary ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Edmonton (Canada, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Taiga Bluet is recorded against all the insects logged in Calgary (9 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.
