Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sedgling sighting in Moscow on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 992nd most-seen of the 1111 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sedgling in Moscow on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Moscow, in our data
Moscow is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Sedgling sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Coenagrionidae
The closest relatives of the Sedgling that you can see in Moscow (family Coenagrionidae, Narrow-winged Damselflies) are Azure Damselfly (about 10%), Blue-Tailed Damselfly (about 10%) and Red-Eyed Damselfly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sedgling is recorded against all the insects logged in Moscow (14 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.
