Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Boreal Long-Lipped Tiger Beetle sighting in Edmonton on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 336th most-seen of the 390 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Boreal Long-Lipped Tiger Beetle in Edmonton on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Edmonton's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain against 20 mm in February.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Boreal Long-Lipped Tiger Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Edmonton, in our data
Edmonton is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Boreal Long-Lipped Tiger Beetle 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 Long-Lipped Tiger Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Edmonton (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.
