Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Purple Bluet sighting in Orlando on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 112th most-seen of the 294 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May, August–October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Purple Bluet in Orlando on a given day, against under 5% in January–April, June–July and November, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Purple Bluet sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Orlando, in our data
Orlando is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Purple 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 Purple Bluet is recorded against all the insects logged in Orlando (18 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.
